I agree with you and dws. I don't particulary want curse words on the front page, but in some instances it's not too noticed. A case by case basis is a good idea. The issue to all monks out there is ...do you really want profanity on the front page of a site like this? I always viewed this site as professional. Granted, we're all programmers - regardless of age or occupation - but on a site like this where I believe many have used this as a reference on perl topics/questions and where many have recommended to fellow collegues to go for help or insight - don't you think profanity is a bit unsightly? Just an opinion.
