    Please don't feel you have to apologize,

    csomicmojo. Nobody asked you to feel anything. Certainly not on the basis of anyone's obesity. And who said my friend got mad? I didn't. I just don't have any general knowledge of the situation, I just offered a specific instance I happened to be aware of. Sorry to upset you.
