Wow...where is this thread going? Talk about taking an idea and running with it. Now, I understand how the whole fire fighting thing could be a sensative topic and I (thankfully) didn't lose anyone because of the whole event. But, I can say, that living an hour away from NYC on Long Island, having a sister and a brother in law that lives in Manahttan, and having another sister and brother in law that works in Manahttan as well, I wouldn't be insulted by this idea at all. And trust me, I spent *many* hours that day trying to get a hold of my siblings, praying that they were okay (my one sister works one block away from the WTC and saw everything happen from her office window). Andy was just trying to be helpful, and it wasn't in any way meant to "replace" a firefighter. And, I, personally, would think it was a good idea, but since I (personally) know how sensative of a topic it is, that's why I wouldn't do it. I do know people who lost loved ones (I know a woman who lost her husband, brother, and son) and because of that, I know the impact this has had on everyone.

I think it would be a good idea not to use this as a game because of all the people who might have trouble with it. But, I do think Andy had a good idea. And, just in my opinion, I don't think it's reason to jump down Andy's throat about it either. But hey, that's just my opinion.
