Tom, Thanks for the edu. I'm too old fashioned and I don't really know the 'current vocab' or 'enough vocab' for that matter. It does bother me to watch 'every movie' from Hollywood (maybe disney's movie is the except) has stuff like that. I'm sure nobody takes me seriously, which is good since I usually make comment out of my restricted perspective and for the most part, no investment value. But this is America, you can say anything you want and do anything you want. EVEN robbed the American's capitial. Sorry, couldn't resist. While I'm not crazy about these 'virtual business', I do not hope the 'intelligent aliens' are real. So many movies about 'heist' and you cannot be sure it is not the case here no matter how silly it is. Again, please have some good and smart people in the Gov. to protect us from "Evil".

The truth is that expletives are poor excuses for sloppy self-expression. Hopefully, they will never gain mainstream acceptance in written expression. Tom, I am with you on this one and it is very important to me. Glenn

Since there's no such thing as OT on this thread: Good @#!&* point on expletives, Ashol (Joke!!) also, 1.) I think the 'official' title is 'Billy Budd, Sailor' but it is referred to by a number of titles including just 'Billy Budd' and also 'Billy Budd, Foretopman.' cf. Moby Dick is sometimes hyphenated also MOBY-DICK: OR THE WHALE. 2.)One of my Melville favorites is 'BARTLEBY, THE SCRIVENER' cc.columbia.edu RO P.s. Just to add something re: AMZN. Gotta love the recent run-up. Let's hear it for ZLongs!!!! Yeaaaaa Baby Yeaaaa. Don't fight it, embrace it. Sweeeeeeeeeeeeet. Arf, Arf, Arf!!!
