"We", kemosabe?

Some of us are wont to express ourselves colorfully when the occasion warrants.
"We" don't need no steenkin' censorship....many of us would be much happier if
the FCC (and anyone else who objects to certain concatenations of characters) 
kept their nose out of the net.  If you're offended...no one's forcing you to
participate.  You don't have to transmit any articles you don't like.  But
don't expect to hold the rest of the net to your standards!
