SubjectRe: Profanity in the Linux Kernel?!?!?
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

listen... Open source software is already superior in many ways to closed
source: It performs better, it is more stable, etc., etc. HOWEVER...
closed source software has this shist in it too. For that matter, it
could have even worse for all I know.

Point is, we are human. Humans use that language, last time I checked,
both outside and inside of work.

Live with it. In the long run, nobody's gonna give a rat's ass about what
may be lurking in the source - they look for what saves them money, and
works reliably.

And Linux does that.

So let's just move on.
