	Well, Gary Benson (inc@fluke), I hope you're really proud of
yourself.  Who appointed you censor-to-the-masses?  If you can't handle
the sprinkling of what *you* consider obscene then I suggest you use
the "u" key whenever appropriate.

	I didn't see ssc-vax!jobe's original article--and I don't need to.
I don't care what he was talking about or where--if he wanted to use words
*you* consider offensive, too damn bad.  Perhaps you should write a filter
that deletes words you don't want to see from your incoming news.  Then
you can work on a hearing aid with a similar function; and then add special
glasses to prevent you from seeing something unpleasant to you.

	I suspect that Boeing management, if they bother to read your note,
will laugh themselves silly over it, since they've probably all used quite
colorful language themselves at some point or another, public or private.

	I'll bet if this newsgroup was a book you'd try to burn it.
