Ulvetanna, as I mentioned before, I'm fine with mickey's desire to keep the riff-raff out, both literally and linguistically. I simply want the definitions to be in order. If a word in no way runs afoul of any given guidelines precluding its usage, then that word should not be censored. In those same conservative churches you attended in your Midwestern youth, 'hell' was a word that was openly bandied about by all and sundry, including the preacher/pastor/priest. For that matter, so was 'damn,' at least when used in the proper context.
At our age now, having one's wrist slapped by a wooden spoon for doing nothing wrong just seems embarrassingly silly.
Not a big deal, though. I live in a world of words, so it bugs me to have perfectly valid words removed from the acceptable lexicon. By that same token, living in a world of words means there are always other, nanny-acceptable words at our disposal.
Oh, and answer my question about the Z900's buzziness compared to the CB1100's, for criminy's (<----) sake!
