Oh, man.  This whole "kids are reading so don't use profanity" is just
ridiculous for the following reasons:

1) Kids say fuck more than more adults.  Its not like they don't hear
it every day of their lives.
2) Do you really think that any kid is going to be following this
inane thread?  Would you if you were a kid?  I didn't think so.
3) Profanity in the newsgroup is not what would bug me re: kids
reading.  Its the full-on, unbridled, aggression of many of the
participants toward anyone who doesn't share their point of view that
I think is the most harmful.
