I would urge the list manager to remove Tony Pay from the list for the use
of profanity in his posts. I can handle off topic posts, conservatives,
Republicans, and resonite clarinets, but I am deeply disturbing at reading a
post and having to endure cursing. TV is bad enough with what they force
you to watch during commercials, but this list is no place for foulness.

"Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness, their feet are swift to shed
blood, destruction and misery are in their paths, and the path of peace they
have not known. There is no fear of God before their eyes." Romans 3:14-18

If Tony's list of adjectives to describe the clarient is so short that he
must curse it, perhaps he should consider playing something else, such as
the radio.
