Actually, after a great deal of thought and soul searching..No, I will not remove the signature.This is your list Steve, and if ya want to throw me off it, that is yourabsolute right.I have, however had just about enough of this socially-engineered,politically correct, non-offensive world. I dont answer to it.I came here to learn about, talk about, and share ideas about Pietenpolairplanes.My signature file (which goes out to 15+ lists, 10+ companies and 200+private parties) is actually irrelevent. It has nothing to do with thediscussions,the technical information, the humor or the good faith sharedby the list members. All brought about by these wooden antiquated flyingmachines.I happen to like Monty Python. I happen to think the quote, the song and themovie seen to which it relates are VERY funny. With the quote, I hope toshare a bit of that humor, and a little bit of that fun.I appreciate the whole world dont like my sense of humor, but I long agogave up trying to please the whole world.I am sorry if this offends your sensabilities, but some of us grew up andlearned to live and let live. The rest became the easily offendedpolitically correct.I have absolutley no intention of causing strife or ill will on any list.These "clubs" are about friendly exchange of information, sometimes someribbing, and a few jokes.just like the local hanger.but I have no intention of apologizing for, or changing what I am. As amater of fact, that quote from a 30 year old movie is probably the mosttruthfull, common-sense quote possible for North American Society today.The alternative is to cry in misery, whine for welfare, and loose.I choose to smile, laugh and share a bit of humor. With goodwill to all, andwith apologies to none.Mike-----Original Message-----

In reply to your "soul searching and not removing your signature" Why shouldI, as a Christian, have to read that kind of linguage when I really want toread about aircampers? If that kind of language is commonly used on thissite then I could not have my grandson read it. I am not for censorship butwhy should I have to preread anything that is on an aircamper site before mychildren or grandshildren? With freedom comes certain responsibilities toourselves and others.Steve D.Just thinking about building a Piet (I have the Model A engine as a start.)----- Original Message -----

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Re: humourHere we go again--why can't grown ups just let life be? So what if a signature offends some one, so your talk of christianity might also offend. This is not a chat room. It is not set up to do anything other than answer questions and share information about Piets and similar planes and flying in general. I am not willing to dictate to someone else how they sign a or if you are really offended, unsubscribe.Pat CooleyMonitoring because my Dad is building a Piet________________________________________________________________________________

Pat,I couldn't agree more. As if it was a matter of life an death... Come onguys, it's just a harmful signature! So what if it says s**t? Worse (no;that would mean my opposing the famous signature, whereas I frankly don'tgive a toss: I'd better say bad) things happen everyday and nobody snaps.Let's get real...----- Original Message -----
