You think that it's OK, because Tiger Woods is a celebrity and who is it really hurting, but the fact remains that you don't know the man. -- Alan Baker Vancouver, British Columbia <http://gallery.me.com/alangbaker/100008/DSCF0162/web.jpg>

Sure I'm ignorant about many things regarding Tiger. But I'm not entirely ignorant of his behavior on the course and now off the course. Do you need an anvil to hit you in the head to get the picture?
