I do, for one.

At the Meet you can see whom you're talking to. Then the language you
use is your choice. On the list, I don't know whether I'm talking to
a 80-year-old grandmother or a 6-year-old boy from school. Hence I
try to keep my language to a basic standard which would be acceptable
to both of them. Maybe I don't always succeed, but it's the thought
that counts, right? :)
Secondly, spoken stuff at the Meets isn't archived for posterity,
while the list is. Why archive profanity when you can as easily
elucidate your thoughts in `parliamentary' language and let everyone
see for themselves what an intellectual and high-minded set of dudes
and dudettes we are? ;) (That was a JOKE, ok?)
