Standards of Decency

[qos]

I just copied my movie meme into email to send to myself at work so if I had any free time today I could work on creating the answer key.

When I pasted it into a new message in Eudora, I was informed that the phrase "getting laid" might be offensive to the recipient and that I should consider changing it. The fact that it appeared twice in a single quote gave me three chili peppers in my warning box.

I deleted the offending words and the peppers went away.

However, the phrase "son of a bitch" did not get marked by the Legion of Email Decency as being offensive.

And I'm just punchy enough to find this interesting enough to post about.

I'd better log off before things get really weird.

Oh my: that is funny! Computers are weird.

I'm having trouble getting past the concept of an e-mail client that gives you "advice" on the content of your message. Oh well....
