Gentlemen:

I hate to pile any more fuel on the bonfire of political correctness, especially today, but my e-mail server has been blocking messages with the subject line "Quality & Capability".

Because I greatly value the discussion here, and I was curious about the reason, I checked the TechNet archive on the IPC website to see what the hubbub was about.  Somebody used the S word in a post, and then everyone who responded (if they quoted the original message below their post) got blocked along with the original miscreant.

I don't like having my e-mail censored.  And I'm not particularly offended by the occasional use of off-color words, some of which I use myself, sometimes loud and often.  But most of us work for companies that make their own rules, so for the sake of my own productivity, and maybe to avoid offending the more evolved sensibilities of some in this group, I respectfully request that we please "Watch them woids".

-Joe
