No that I am in disagreement here but what good does this message supposed
to do? The ng is not moderated and an 'appropriate' sticker can not be
displayed to inform newcomers accordingly. So, the ones who read David's
advisory may bear this in mind and take notice or (probably) forget all
about when they post a message the next time. Newcomers however will not
know.
With respect to the subject line, has anybody had any success communicating
to Kadaitcha Man the use of crudities?
