I love how you think *your* estimation of what is in good taste and what
is vulgar or not translates into what you assume is a given universal
principle. After all, everybody's sense of what is good taste or not,
what is vulgar or not, is surely the same (and even better, it's
surely the same as yours).......right Matthew? Uh, right.

p.s. How to know when to curse appropriately, in good taste, and properly,

you're getting your flashy awards. :P~
