Personally, I think you should stop shaking *ists at each other. :-)

So, are you suggesting that the "ability" to use foul language is
what
makes one an "adult"?
Not at all. If my child of 11 was lurking on an email list that had
contributors who regularly used foul language, I would not allow
him to
continue.
The Pentax list is hardly that.
OK, then, may I assume that you would like to have the PDML be as
inclusive
as possible (in the sense that as many people with serious interest
in
things Pentaxian would be welcome)? (This may not be a valid
assumption.)
If that assumption is correct, would you want the language "spoken"
here to
be as "friendly" as possible (in the sense that nobody would be
offended by
vulgar language), or do you feel that the right to "compose" speech
full of
vulgarity should override?
Should the PDML be a list favoring civil discussion of things
Pentaxian or
a list favoring vulgar discussion of things Pentaxian?
