Hi List,
There have been a number of on and off list comments about the profanity. I
did address it, off list, with the person who used the profanity. I think
we can all agree that there are plenty of places in mainstream media and the
Internet where profanity is used and that this list should not be one of
those places. Thanks everyone.
