Just now in another post I tried to write the phrase H ell's Angels without the grammatical error of a space and the software censored me. I'm tempted to write WTF, but as a result of my previous experience am a little hesitant.

Heck, this is a forum for woodworkers, not kindergarten students.
 
I know on another woodworking forum I frequent, that the parameters are basically "If you wouldn't want your five year looking over your shoulder reading it, then you shouldn't write it".  Makes a lot of sense, as a lot of us have our kids either by our sides when on the PC, or simply we want them at our sides in this hobby/profession as they grow up.  It's probably no different here.  Look at Shane's avatar/photo for instance.
 
Yes, my youngest son does read over my shoulder when I'm on the computer and nearly 100% of the time I have a browser tab open to the forum. This is a simple rule which I'm sure we all can follow. We are adults, and as such, should be able to express ourselves without obscenities.  Thanks in advance for abiding by our simple forum rules which are intended to make this a peaceful, welcome place for all.

(In fact, my son just walked up as I was typing this. Point proven.)

Thanks,
Shane
