Important Note about Posting on this Board
Note on posting on this board.
In general, I believe we've been pretty lenlent in allowing certain language on this board. for example, there are just certain emotional times when it seems that nothing but the sh-- word will seem to do the job. As a rule, I try to observe the most forgiving guidelines that I've seen utilized in prime time television.
However, I've recently had to do some edits because of the excessive use of over-the-top words. I decided to change words rather than to delete entire posts because I believe people have the right to have the theme of their opinions heard, even if they may have strayed from a reasonable definition of propriety in their word choices. It's not the intent that's the problem, it's the means of putting that intent into words.
I hope anyone whose posts I've edited don't take offense and realizes that I took the time to do the editing so that their opinions could continue to be read. I hope that, if they have occasion to reread said posts at a later time when such emotionality is not so overwhelming, they'll be rather relieved that the elected style of their posts doesn't diminish their usual strong contributions to this board.
Thanks for your understanding. And, as usual, you're welcome to contact me via PM or email (SlipSamCelt@aol.com) at any time.

Bob and Sam
I am reminded of an early episode of the Simpsons. The one where Homer gets (steals) cable TV.
Family riding home from church, with Bart and Lisa in the back seat, conversation goes like this.
Marge: So Bart what did you learn about in Sunday School today?
Bart: We learned about hell.
Marge: BART you don't use that word.
Bart: You mean HELL?
Marge: BART!!
Bart: Well how the hell am I suppose to tell you about hell if I can't use the word HELL?
Homer: Kids got a point Marge.
