I agree, Clint, that kind of terminology has no place in polite society, but 
this is the internet we are talking about (internet <-> polite society - 
huh?).

Sorry I couldn't resist that one, Clint, but as an occasional peruser of 
Eham.net and other minimally moderated ham radio forums I am just not 
accustomed to thinking about the words "polite society" in the context of 
the internet :-)
