[at-l] Swearing and the *&$#! (OT)

[Bob Cummings <ellen@clinic.net> (Bob C.)]

"...Just my little mind thinking and how we do stupid things to be politically
correct," says Josh.

 Well for those of us who think with our fingers, the practice keeps the list a
 bit less vulgar. Since my fingers don't readily know where #&* is on my key
 board, and I'm always in a rush, it seems, when I respond to the list, I have
 to avoid those words altogether.

 Of course I could use the regular spelling, but that might stir controversy,
 and since I'm never one to provoke an argument or a controversy, I have to
 avoid sh-t and f--t and similar words altogether in the interests of list
 harmony.

  What do people think? Does my unwillingness to find the euphonic (is that a
  word) keys, detract from my contributions? Would my relations with Jim &/or
  Ginny be better if I sprinkled a few f&*kin sh#theads in my replies?
