---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Bob... in many places in Europe these English swear words are not really understood so well. Maria is Sweedish, and here in Scandinavia the worst of American cussing sounds kinda cute to Viking ears... believe me it used to bother me a lot, but then after a while and many experiences of hearing old ladies exchanging the most fantastics of dialoges completely innocent of knowing exactly how awfull they sounded to my ears... I started to laugh about it. Of course you are right in pointing out that we should refrain from such talk on an English speaking, American based list. But look before you leap at her if you will... To Scandinavian ears... the worst imaginable cus words have to do with things like the Devil... not body excrements... frankly its difficult for many Europeans to understand what this strange fascination for bodily excrements and functions Americans seem to have. So Maria... grin.. you are excused this time, and I am sure Bob retracts his comments of unproffesionalism for at least this one time. But be aware... these words we take to be so harmless fall hard and unsavory on American ears.. so please refrain.
