in reply to Let's discuss Podmaster's Signature

I like my signature :) and I've had that particular line in it for well over a year (took you long enough to notice).

This has been raised before

Filtering "profanities" is going to be tough. Filtering "profanities" from html is going to be tough on the server.

If you start filtering out US profanities, you're gonna have to start filtering out *insert language here* profanities ....

BTW, I'm completely against the idea dag nabbit ... oogly-googly!

I run a Win32 PPM repository for perl 5.6.x and 5.8.x -- I take requests (README).

    I like PodMaster's sig. It's refreshingly honest. As a matter of fact, when I find myself making some dumb newbie error, that's the first phrase that pops into my head.

    It's destined for "common usage"; :-)

    Also, I've never met MJD, although I've heard alot about him, and "I like him already", because of that quote.

    The question to the above answer is: How does it sound when Ned Flenders is cursing?

    Back to reality: I know MJD, I talked to him and I sat in more than one of his OSCON sessions. MJD is one of the most kind person I ever met, and he even puts people on the spot for putting themselves or others down.

    Best example: me! In one of the sessions with MJD, I asked a question which was already answered on the screen, but I didn't notice that because I didn't grok the answer yet. Once I noticed that I said "'Doh", to which MJD replied something along the lines of: Don't do that, don't put yourself down. It's part of the learning process and has nothing to do with being stupid.

    So: Is profantiy bad? I would say that depends. I mostly don't use it in writting, but when I get into one of my rants about life, the universe and the rest... I am cursing up a hurricane, yet most people around me survived for the better of it.
