Joy, not to beat a dead horse, but the problem here is that this is not
an entirely adult forum.  There are kids that get on and read Mom's or
Dad's Vanagon List mail. That casts the language issue in an entirely
different light.

How do I know this? I've now been on this list a fairly long time - a
few years - and I have seen this debate before. And always the kids are
involved. This is not a good venue for "Adult Language" content. I'm an
"Old Salt" myself - US. Navy - and my language can be quite salty when I
want it to be. But  I am keen as to when to use it and when not to. So,
from my  perspective it would eliminate the controversy, as well as
reduce NVC use of bandwidth if we all cooled it a bit on the language thing.
