Janet's point was that someone was rude, crude and disrespectful. This kind of
behavior doesn't fit with the spirit of RTL. I'm not saying foul language
automatically disqualifies someone, but when it is uncalled for (as it was in
that situation), the person deserves what they get. We'd just have to decide
what the "punishment" would be; maybe a point against them, and when they get a
certain number of points they get disqualified.

P.S. When did you take crap for any of your sig files? I get a kick out of
almost every one, and I can't remember anything wrong in any of them. (Although
my memory is faulty, so I could be mistaken)
