No reason to feel annoyed. Terry's an idiot. A really, really
healthy, fit, idiot. What has ME annoyed is that no one seemed
offended by the misspelling of the word 'damn'. Title should have
read: "....D##n Piano" , but then people would have to have
wondered: "does it mean 'Darn'?" And would it have been
funny to Fit-Terry (and others) if it had said "Tune your Gosh
Darn Piano"? So, leaving the perception of humor to the
mind of the beheader, I'd want to defer to Paul Bruesch:<br>
<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">there's nothing even remotely
political about it. It's just all about common

except, at this point, I think <i>every </i>aspect of our lives is
political, and there is nothing common about courtesy.<br><br>
David B, does 'ruddy' represent the frontier of your on-line
expletive usage?<br><br>

It is easily possible to draw a distinction between "political
correctness" and gracious speech with good manners.<br><br>
While we might wish to avoid calling a spade a multipurpose terraforming
