Ours. --- We all have better things to do than listen to swearing addicted toddlers. I imagine one of the problems that cuts across all cultures is the need for some to try to create the rules that govern what really comes down to moral behavior and they point to their impression that their social experience is eroded by those that won't follow their rules - I tend to refer to this as trying to legislate morality. This too is arrogance. Whether arrogance is wrongful behavior is probably arguable. Obviously we aren't going to resolve these issues on this list - but at least, I am satisfied that you contemplated my view of your action and we can agree to disagree. Craig
