Earl, stick around.  I'm a relative newcomer to the forum and really benefit from the exchanges.  I've been in design management the past 12 years and away from floor operations which I really miss.  This forum is a great way of participating in some of the problems I used to be solving.  Hope you stay.

Earl (and the rest of Technet),
 
LMAO is an acronym for Laughing My Ass Off. I do believe that "ass" is an offensive term, and I also believe the use of the acronym gestures intent, therefore, please search the archive for anyone who has used it, or any of it's derivatives, i.e., ROFLMAO, LMFAO, etc., and issue reprimand to them as well.
 
THERE... now I have committed the offense that you, Mr. Ung, Rm. S. Gregory,  (and many others) have committed at one time or another on this forum.
 
It pisses me off to no end to see you bow out while "Technet" just violated US copyright laws by allowing Mr. Ung's post of George Carlin's work to transmit on this forum. (oh yeah, copyright was a different string).
 
BTW, I think Mr. Carlin's routine is a little dated, since "angry" and the British slang for "drunk" usage's of "p*ss" has been airing on American broadcasting for years now so there are only 6 left. See where this nit-picking can lead us! We don't need more government, we need more common sense!!!
 
Silly stuff like this happens, and "us" as the professionals who actually use this tool for accomplishing things we do for a living, need to stay together on this and suppress"them" that run around on golf courses with their attorneys every weekend. I'm sure if anyone on this forum who had broken a rule even once had to leave, the forum wouldn't exist.
 
Earl, you shook it up and hopefully we can turn it upside-down so all the crap falls out. I (and others) want you to stay. I hope the "others" that want you to stay join in here and express themselves on this issue. Shall we vote?... all in favor...
