I grew up in New York City. I've heard it all (and
said, alas, much of it). But I don't necessarily want
to hear it again, and there are those among us with
far more sensitive ears. I'm not going to censor on
this score, but please practice a little self
censorship. It's just not necessary.

Let's keep this group focused on what goeth into the
mouth and not what cometh out the other end. That
includes potty euphemisms which I personally find more
disgusting than the rawer, less evocative angry kind.

Don't worry if you're guilty on this score. I haven't
issued a warning before, and my heart goes out to you
if you've been reduced by frustration to such
language. But keep in mind that you'll be more likely
to retain a larger body of sympathetic readers if you
restrain yourself a bit...

Thanks in advance to the foul mouthed for your
gracious compliance, and in retrospect to the tender
eared for your forbearance,

Reinhard
