David, >>First, as for "no one wants to help me" I am frankly surprised by the huge amount of help that I have received. So, you are off point here. Think again. I have also been somewhat amazed that people continue to offer you support in spite of your rudeness. I've certainly not gone out of my way to comment except when I think other people might benefit from seeing what I write to you. >>Our conversation is honestly interesting because I have never before run into someone who thinks as you seem to. Interesting, because there are at least two of us — I include myself with Jerry on this topic. Not to belabor the point, but using a denigratory descriptive term for someone's freely offered advice is insulting. If indeed "… it is the only phrase that I know of that describes the particular activity…" then can I suggest you spend some time/effort on improving your knowledge of the language? I actually happen to agree that "chicken shit" is not a profanity, since it does not malign a deity. It is an obscenity, which is also discouraged by the rules of the forum and the online service, as well as polite company. Kathy
