Thanks Len for the feedback.  I probably should have used 'present' rather
than 'represent' data...I didn't realize the distinction between the words.

Cultural descriptors for profiling?  Yeah, I also think it is inevitable,
but ultimately the cost/benefits analysis demonstrates that it may be
critical.  A minor sacrifice considering the extreme dangers we have to
contend with, but still clear lines have to be drawn.
