The way I was always taught is that you have to resort to a so called curse word in any situation it is a flaw in your own reasoning process. Plus there is the context which is usually taken in to account. If someone is directing these words against someone then it is wrong and offensive. It is also a matter for personal taste.

If that person has broken the list rules then they require reminding of said rules but the mods are usually remind the whole list of the rules in order to stop repeated breaking of the rules by other people apart from those who are being trouted. So normally it is not just the person that the trout is being flung at that is being told. -- Have Fun, |> |> |>en is |\ohop [EMAIL PROTECTED] crashing The Bat! v3.5.30 falling out of mid air with Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 2 Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.70GHz 598 MHz 1.00GB RAM Refrain from lamenting over precipitately scattered lacteal fluid. ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.5.31 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/
