I didn't know what mike was talking about till I re-read your post. As a 20
year Army Vet it didn't even strike me as profanity , but if folks are
offended I guess you got to tow the party line... as you say it would be nice
if profanity was defined so we all would know what words are too evil to be
written . I could see if you were calling others names , how someone would be
offended .But the use of swear words in the contex you used them seemed
approprate to illistrate your emotional state .
If you get kicked off , join our valley group we dont care how much you cuss
just as long as you use linux
