Dan, please stop profaning here.

I'll respect that request because I agree that those *words* don't need to
be used. I didn't think the word I used (***hole) was not allowed on this
forum because I'm pretty sure I've seen it used before (as well as the words
I usually add asterisks to). Sorry for the inconvenience.

With that in mind, please also be realistic about yourself. Several of your
posts have included much more profane *content*, without the "George Carlin"
words I was adding here and there. If we are going to talk frankly, let's be
fair about it.

I gave the wrong impression here.  I am perfectly comfortable conversing with
any level of profanity.  I do so daily elsewhere.  However, because I once had
my posting priveledge suspended for the use of a word describing the excrement
of a male cow on l.o-t.d it has made me uncomfortable.  I consider it my own
weakness in light of a systemic one.  I didn't mean to be slamming you for
it...it was just a request.  It would make me more comfortable.  (And thanks
for spelling asterisk right for me :-)

What is profane content?

Discussion Group Terms...point number five says "(do not) Post or transmit
any...obscene, vulgar, pornographic, profane, or indecent information of any
kind..."  I guess that the discussion of porn has at least skirted some of
that, but I really do think that we've stayed clear of naughtyness.
