My personal opinion (somehow I almost feel that ought to be in caps) :

Nothing said in this discussion offended me, although the comments relating
unprofessionalism to language and pseudonyms came pretty close. I think some
people here should lighten up and perhaps make an effort not to be so easily
offended. There's language far worse than *anything* I've seen on this list
nightly on TV, daily at work and almost everywhere on Usenet

Like you skribe, I *do* have a problem with a self-elected moral majority
(which is usually neither a majority, nor particularly moral).

If the committee issues and edict, fine; if we must show hands, then lets do
it.  Anything to move on.

Regards,

The Hooker
