Don't try to equate "cheap" language, as you call it, with foul language. It's bad enough that I have to double check what I write on lists like these to make sure I haven't dropped the F-bomb without thinking about it. I'd have to censor the names of some of my own songs just to mention them here, if I had been all-Linux when I did them. So if I want to say something sucks, especially if I have constructive suggestions for dealing with its suckiness, I damn well will. Everyone else should feel free to do the same. I personally value the presence of people who may use "cheap" language more than the presence of those who object to it, so maybe you and the rest of the hand-wringers should update your NetNanny block list or something. The reality is, while there may be a preponderance of CS types and academics here, there are also a lot of musicians, and we musicians tend to be both eccentric and "cheap". So now we have a meta thread about an off-topic thread. Lovely. Can we get another meta thread going on top of this one?
