I would tell the person to grow up and learn to handle his own affairs, b/c private e-mail is quite obviously not a CCC issue.

Not a problem. If somebody is offended by reading "shit," they need to learn to deal with life better. >1) On a scale of one to ten, where one is super-tolerant, and ten is completely >intolerant, how tolerant are you of off-topic posts? 9. Exceptions are when the posts are somehow offensive or abusive, or the threads simply get too huge. >2) Are you capable of getting rid of someone who seems to be here to cause >trouble? Yup. -Tom
