I dunno, if you really want to have this debate, I don't see why it's unreasonable for the list parents to not want rampant cursing.
In my travels to the southeast US, I found there are still people there who consider it inappropriate for a white woman to date a black man. I would hope that all on this list understand how illogical that is. To me it seems just as illogical to say it's inapproprate to use one word over another, when they both have the same meaning.
I'm not saying that the people on this list don't like you, I'm just saying that if you keep posting about CPU utilization when using linux for routing and about how cisco sucks, in a very frequent manner, it will make small idiosyncracies such as cursing stand out that much more.
From the number of personal replies I got about these topics, it seems
Lots of people don't like me, and I like it that way. Saves me a lot nuisance from people who might think you're their friend. like many people are interested in sharing information about how to do routing on a budget, or how to avoid getting shot in the foot with your Cisco box. I thought my posts were far more technical and relevant to network operation than the marketing hype being spewed by some others. However, if the consensus is my posts are off-topic, I'll happily shut up wait to be told what are accpetable topics. -Ralph
