Obviously some have taken offense to my use of the word "Sucker" and I would
like to explain that I don't find the word insulting. Last year when Ben did
his April Fool's train post I got "Sucked" in and thought it real. That made
me a "sucker" and I laughed and said hmmm thats funny.
Yes I was a "sucker", someone could have told me so and I would have agreed.
So from My point of view I don't have a problem with the term "Sucker" in this
context. Now obviously some were offended by it. For those I am sorry, but
realize that when it was written and even now I do not find the word "Sucker"
offensive so it was not meant to be derogatory.
