Well, thanks Travis. But my attitude is actually rather different
on this one. Until I hear otherwise, I rather think of Richard's
language and protest as earthy and heartfelt. If everyone else
here was prepared to indulge in same, I would happily throw out
the civilised version of the international English dictionary and
use the dinkiest of dinky die old fashioned working class inner
city Australian pub one. But I fancy it would be just too much
for delicate international ears.

The real trouble with allowing this kind of earthiness is that it
attracts bad types, that is, people with base motives, low
breeding, mean sob resentments towards life and fellows and like
that. So reluctantly, I suppose, we must be a bit straight-laced.

Please excuse me Travis but I have to pop into my sound-proof
room now to tap and tap and tap the special tourette-absorption
device I built myself... and ... well... to scream.
