You're certainly right:
Does a bear shit in the woods?
Is the Pope Catholic?

Dear Julian,
It was vulgar, I admit, though the word is legitimate to my
understanding and not obscene or even scatalogical. I guess there's still
something of the juvenile in me insofar as I feel the urge sometimes to
epater...
Sorry if I caused you offense.
BTW, I think your posts are forceful, cogent and correct.
Peace,
Pavel
