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!)
