The first is when they learn the words and want to show off their new vocabulary. The second is when they are immature adults, lacking the emotional control and linguistic skills to express strong feelings other than by using language which they naively think will shock their listeners into silence if not agreement. My children grew out of that stage at about 15. Mr Woods has managed to cloak two valid points and three reasonable statements of opinion in a barage of crude language which I assume is his reaction to having the adults question his judgement. He actually did have something to say, and perhaps people should try to overcome his linguistic disabilities and understand his points. These things are very important to emotional children, and we should pay attention to their pitiful cries for attention. -- bill davidsen (davidsen@crdos1.crd.GE.COM -or- uunet!crdgw1!crdos1!davidsen) "The world is filled with fools.
