Beats me. I wasn't asked to state my race when the photographer came calling.

Mail order, eh?

So you remained an anonymous coward?

It would seem that rcrocket has opened himself up to some abuse by posting this (which is not warranted on this particular thread, in my opinion).

But it does make me wonder - rcrocket: what was your intent in posting this? What was your purpose? I wouldn't think that this board is full of social acquaintances with whom you'd like to share this; so why would you open yourself up to the easily predicted abuse by pointing this out?

Proud father bragging. If you haven't been able to tell so far, I can take abuse. Even when several of you make fun of my children, marital relations with my wife, and anonymously complain to my stake president, my firm, and fill my cell phone answering machine with anonymous hate messages, it doesn't phase me. I am here to have fun. And fun I'm having.

Fair enough.

In that case, your son (I'm presuming he's the dark haired one) has a nice smile. But for the love of Al Gore, turn off your porch light during the day, man!

I cannot figure out why anybody would feel the need to use this thread to take pokes at rcrocket. He shared something with us of human interest, and out of pride for his son. I think it's great, and I'm pleased that he took the time to let us know.

For the life of me, I'm not sure why this merits abuse. Give it a rest Merc. You've got plenty of other opportunities to let Robert have it.

You presume wrong.

OK, but only because you asked Guy.

Ah, my apologies.

In that case, I'll quit while I'm ahead (or at least not that far behind).
