    Couldn't agree more.  I've been subbed to RC for about two years, even
    though I don't do endurance.  There are times when there's absolutely
    nothing of relevance to me on the list, *because* I don't do endurance, but
    every time I think I should unsub, somthing interesting crops up.
    
    I also don't read Howard's stories (sorry, Howard), but that's because I
    have ADD, and simply can't process them!
    
    I'm not easily offended (although I'll freely admit that I am probably
    offensive to some), and have spent enough time in and around rugby change
    rooms to have heard every expletive in the book.  And references to God
    don't irk me, because I'm fairly sure that She's quite capable of dealing
    with the offender Herself, without needing me to leap to Her defense.
    
    The most offensive posts, to me, are probably the ones with zero content to
    them...you know the ones : "you are a nasty, evil person and I'm never going
    to speak to you again."  Grow up : attack the message, not the messenger,
    and if the person really pees you off, then simply delete that person's
    posts.
    
    Having said that, I will also point out that most adults learn that, if you
    want to get a point across to an audience, it's a pretty good idea not to
    stomp on that audience's toes.  And if you're not sure which way the wind
    blows with that audience, then it's a safe bet to keep religious references,
    expletives, racial references and sexual innuendoes to a minimum.
    
    
    Just something to mull over, Howard :)
