On the contrary, I just calls 'em like I sees 'em. And believe me, I've
seen 'em all, each one of those rules, scrupulously obeyed to the letter
by any number of people.

Since this is net.flame, I just thought I'd open up this can of
garden engineers:

> Rule #2: NO POOFTERS!

In Australia (where I spent a couple of months this year) and I presume
in England, as well, "poofter" is a not-particularly-polite term for
homosexuals. Given the existence of net.motss, is this really a rule
that is meant to be upheld ( :-), I think )?

I believe the above rule was drawn from Monty Python,
a group that I also happen to enjoy being entertained by, but around
here you'd better watch your step :-).
