Offensive Link Spoofed into a Recent Posting

Hi All --

I want to apologize for an offensive link that has somehow been 'spoofed' 
into the posting (below) that you all received.

Please do NOT click on the link.   I did not place it there, and I have no 
idea who did.

Who knows why people do these things...  Sigh....
