Wim, list at large: My sincerest apologies if my reply seemed flippant or in way demeaning to you or anyone else. Without going into a long rambling post, suffice it to say that, each individual must make up their own mind as to their beliefs about porn, illegal drugs, legal drugs, etc. My personal policy regarding contraband is to walk away from it. In the scenario that Michael painted, I personally would tell the person who hired me that I was unable to service the instrument today because of it's present condition. Please open the bottom panel, lid, whatever, clean the instrument out, and let me know when I could return to service it. Most likely, I would not be contacted again. I would not know it the family adults are hiding their stash from snoopers and/or cops. I would have no way of knowing if one spouse was hiding it from the other, one or more kids hiding from parents/other kids. I personally would not want the responsibility of sitting in judgement of a family member's - or entire family's value system and moral standards. Pornography and drugs are a fact of life in this society. I have the freedom to choose my relationships with the substance and the people who use them. However, I see no need to give up my peace of mind and subsequently, my sense of humor when I meet others who do not share my values. For those who do not share my viewpoint, please contact me privately. I have an almost new pornagraph for sale - best offer.
