I second you here, Annie. Reading Tony's comments in context, he was
not cussing AT anyone in particular, simply repeating a characterization
which included said expletives.

If you are concerned about the language coming up in your e-mail or on
the web, you can always utilize some sort of screening program. Once my
children are on the internet, I will be getting either Net Nanny or some
other program to keep them away from the porno sites, etc. (until they
figure out how to hack it :-[ Hopefully they will have better things to
do, but one can never tell, despite doing one's level best) Also, on
the same note, a free utility to prevent pop-ups of all kinds, including
the dirty ones, is Pop-up Stopper, which is avavilable on the downloads
page at ZDnet :

and paste - I wasn't sure if a clickable link was permitted on the list)

I have heard a clip of this some time back - can some one post ordering
info or perhaps send to me in an e-mail? I'd appreciate it.
