No worries, I didn't. Not as an offense, by the least. No need
to apoligize.

Thing is, we all do stupid things without noticing, and from
past experience I know *I* do. But I'm willing to learn from
mistakes -- thus my question.

Somewhat, but in a different way :-)

See, as far as I am concerned, your post was fine, so when you
feel like that, just do it again. And if you catch me behaving
as I shouldn't, by all means, call me out on that.

I tend to be a bit more lenient than you: this kind of profanities
don't seem to me too hard: although I'd prefer them to be rare
(for the benefit of those who might feel pain at reading them),
I think that some level of tolerance is necessary in such a
big mailing list. The OP didn't insult anyone personally, and
(s)he is known to have a rather curt and strong language. OTOH,
(s)he has many helpful and to-the-point posts here.

That's why I decided to take the edge off that thing in a
humorous way by reminding us of the fact that agriculture's
main business model is turning manure into tasty aubergines;
so perhaps that wise man wasn't totally right after all...

So don't worry. All is well. My question was really genuine,
not a contorted way of defense or something.

Cheers
