The List is no place for postings like this trash. I would like to think that
we are all reasonably adult. Please maintain at least an adult and responsible
use of the english language.

I should start by mentioning that I agree that the message was off topic, and
that it was poorly written. This does not distinguish it from many other
messages on this list. If we really are all "reasonably adult" I think we have
all heard these words before and need not get our panties in a bunch when we
hear them again. It's amusing to me that members of this list (famed for its
civility) would never dream of criticizing even the most idiotic game idea but
are quite quick to criticize those using expressive language.
