Since this is net.flame, I just thought I'd open up this can of
garden engineers:

        > Rule #2:   NO POOFTERS!

In Australia (where I spent a couple of months this year) and I presume
in England, as well, "poofter" is a not-particularly-polite term for
homosexuals.  Given the existence of net.motss, is this really a rule
that is meant to be upheld ( :-), I think )?

I believe the above rule was drawn from Monty Python,
a group that I also happen to enjoy being entertained by, but around
here you'd better watch your step :-).
