Nothing turns me away from a list, or even an irc channel faster than 
prevalent swearing.  This is one of the highest quality lists.  As list 
administrator, Wade did the right when he reminded the whole group not 
to use such language.  He didn't flame anyone, he simply sent a reminder 
not to use one particular word.  call it "bubble" if you wish, but it 
doesn't matter to me if the irc channel or list is based in Chna (chosen 
for it's location directly opposite the earth from us for this example), 
the list will sound less professional with profanity.  Let this list 
continue to attract high quality contributors.  Do this by keeping our 
language professional, not flaming, and sending quality responses.
