Re: Language in RAIN postings



I must have missed whatever caused this flap; I was on the river the
last week and am just now wading through my 400+ emails.
Perhaps my many scratches, cuts, bruises and overall sunburn
(the sign of a successful river trip!) color my reaction to this, but
my response is the same:  Grow Up!

I also very much appreciate what Peter does for this list; not only
RAIN, which is very informative and useful to all of us, but providing
answers to many questions that all of us post.  So if some word or
phrase offends thy lily-white eyeballs, just delete it!  Sheesh!
