To whom it may concern,
I have worked with many different types of people in a number of different
jobs over the years from data processing management to blue collar
industrial work and have heard it all, but I do find low level language
offensive and quite unnecesary.
HOWEVER, I do understand it because I used to spew venom every where I
went. But nowadays (even I) am a little less poisonous.
Thanks for listening,
