  I dunno...Explaining WTF to your kid, should he happen to log on to the
Vanagon list...is that any more awkward than explaining  E.D. and a
Cialis  commercial from your TV?  Or those Enzyte ones with "smilin'
Bob"....?    How bout the Charmin ones with the bears and the TP?(can I get
away with that, "TP"?)  There is a lot more 'offensive' stuff on the regular
airwaves and network TV, a lot more graphic, should your kid or Granma
happen see it, than seeing than "WTF?" used a few times here on Vanagon
list...
  But since that is the rule, I'll not complain.  I don't think internet
shorthand is very cool anyhow..
