Folks, whether you agree or not, the FT TOS/Rules and Guidelines are pretty clear -- we are asked not to use offensive language or abbreviations for such or forumlations that will fool the filters. The expression in question has been removed (and follow-on posts that are now, therefore, off-topic) and will continue to, unless Randy Petersen indicates otherwise. There are perfectly civil and acceptable alternatives to using the phrase which convey exactly the same information. And the original expression IS an abbreviation for a profanity which many would find unacceptable on a "PG-rated" (as Randy has put it) board.

Further discussions, though, of this on-forum will be off-topic. Should you take issue with this, you might want to PM me or Randy Petersen.

Regards,
