>>I couldn't disagree more strongly. Four letter words are not needed to convey thoughts. Good point and thanks I needed that. Freedom of expression can be good. But sometimes too much free expression can alienate some and break down communication so that only a few are actually participating. I think, though, four letter words are sometimes the only words uneducated people can come up with to communicate some of their/our ideas. For this reason, I believe it is good to allow some four letter words in to some forums. It is important not to have a cast system between those that are educated and those that are not. Uneducated people sometimes have very important things to say -- sometimes they/we do it using four letter words. As far as this thread goes, though, I don't think we have that problem. All seem smart enough to be able to find words that can convey like thoughts without the use of four letter words. I stand corrected. This is a public forum and some time, place, manner limitations are appropriate. Thanks for your wisdom.

<< Four letter words are not needed to convey thoughts. I agree with Mr. Gintel. Not only are some people offended by the language, but there are many 10 and 11 year olds out there investing. You never know when one will stumble across us. We've kept it clean for so long, just because most here have significantly more money now doesn't mean we should lose civility. Jody
