So do you often use profanity in a room of 1000 people?  And to
_describe_ the group you're talking about?   You realize that you called
everyone's content and participation here BS, right?

Listen, I was reading about the AT, and would probably be a member of
this list long before I had the extensive profanity crafting skills that
I have today.

Profanity has always irked me on tht list, and if you go back in the

Keep slamming the AT-L,  that's a good use of the list.

Should I join your list and make a post like:

"This list is okay, but it's only here for a year, runs on yahoogroups
with all the crappy ads, has archives that aren't persistent, and
carries spam."
