Who cares! Profanity is like sex, death, and taxes -- it's a part of life.
Don't you guys have something more constructive to focus on, like getting
real work done to make Linux better? If folks don't like it, then they
should join Jerry Falwell's Radio Preacher "moral majority" club or
something. As swamped as I am with Linux work, I'm surprised folks out
there have enough idel time on their hands to banter this type of stuff.
