<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DrPam, post: 3564085, member: 15550&quot;]I can&#039;t assist with the signature, but the rest of the conversation got me to wondering. Because I&#039;m a &quot;just the facts&quot; kinda person I checked Google&#039;s dictionary for the definition of &quot;crone&quot; -- first thing that pops up is, &quot;an old woman who is thin and ugly&quot;. A bit further down is the question, &quot;What is the male equivalent of a crone?&quot; Response: a wizard, with the comment, &quot;. . . infinitely less offensive&quot;. Sadly, right below that is a link to a 2018 article in <i>The Telegraph</i> titled, &quot;Hag, harridan, crone: 16 words we only use to describe older women&quot;. If nothing else, the above may help some folks understand why the word &quot;crone&quot; touches a nerve.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
