In the Encarta dictionary "obscene" is defined as: 1. indecent: offensive to conventional standards of decency, especiall
+y by being sexually explicit
2. disgusting: disgusting and morally offensive, especially because of
+ showing total disregard for other people
I don't think "shit" is sexually explicit, nor morally offensive. We should all try to avoid pushing our standards of decency unto others. If the signature offends you, I'm quite sure you will be able to cobble up a CSS to delete this particular sig. (Hey, there is some programming in this after all!)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
