Subject:'Stuff' Happening

To All:

[This is when I hate being the owner of the group, but it HAS to be said.]

________
I have just deleted the topic S**t Happens, and will continue to delete
all replies to this topic, regardless of the content of the emails.

If you read the Yahoo Terms of Service, you'll find the following:

"You agree to not use the Yahoo! Services to:

1.

upload, post, email, transmit or otherwise make available any
Content that is unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive,
harassing, tortious, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, libelous,
invasive of another's privacy, hateful, or racially, ethnically or
otherwise objectionable;"

While I may agree with the general sentiments of the original post, a
thread with that title crosses the line into the area of being at least
arguably 'vulgar,' 'obscene,' and 'objectionable.' For the record, I'm
not offended by the common English word for solid excrement, nor its
German, French, Spanish, Dutch, Norwegian, etc. translation. I don't
see problem with an *occasional* inclusion in threads. But using it as
the SUBJECT of the thread -- even when used as a direct quote -- is out
... period.

If someone would like to restart the thread with another, less crude
title, go right ahead. I think the essence of the discussion had
merits. And even if I *didn't* think it did, I don't plan on censoring
threads based on my person feelings or beliefs. But I'm not going to
even take the *chance* of getting this forum shut down over some Yahoo
obscenity clause.

Your help would be most appreciated.
