Hey, Dean, here's a serious question. I've been a bit free with the "sanitized"(?) versions of ...um... salty(?) language, e.g., referring to myself as a "crusty old ba**ard". I've done so with a bit of trepidation. There's no doubt of exactly what letters go in the asterisks, so no doubt of what the word actually is. Also, I'd never use anything like it in referring to anyone else, just myself (because that one's accurate!) Is that ok? Stepping over the line? Treading close to it? Not anywhere near, because it's far too cute and amusing when I do it, because it's me, after all? I would never try any tricks with words that are universally considered profanities (too conservative to do that in public, despite how much I swear in private)), but what say you to this? Thanks!
