   well, the LIst police are out on patrol.  What did I write that was so 
offensive?
    The only thing I can think of is that I used 'fuckup.'   But isn't fuckup 
a universally 
   used word which means screwup which used to be offensive or obscene but is 

    accepted now.  Fuckup is probably borderline and wouldn't be acceptable 
on a 
    school paper but it is used,especially by women, all over the place.  
children, I      
    think are used to far worse on pop records.

    But I will refrain from using fuckup if this is what was offensive in my 
posts.
