The "stinking truth".

Sorry, I cannot see anything 'stinky' or inadequate about saying what Runtime Revolution is.
I know that "Dropping your drawers and mooning them is a good way to
make a name for yourself" (having done the written equivalent of that on
this list in the past); but I don't see what that has to do with what to
call the language inside Runtime Revolution.
As to "ass clowns" . . . certainly very few of them contribute to the
Runtime Revolution Use-List methinks.
Mikey write:
"The tone is merely a vehicle to illustrate the point plainly."
Been there, Done that; and guess where it got me? All that sort of tone
serves to do is rub people up the wrong way and turn them right off your
'plain point'. A spade may well be a 'spade', rather than a 'manually
operated soil remover', but we don't have to call it a 'f***ing shovel'.
I still think there is a lot to be said for 'RexTalk'.
sincerely, Richmond Mathewson.
