Not thin-skinned at all, and I can handle the bodily function descriptions just fine. I'm just not a moron wanker who feels it's important to slam the railroads every time I open my mouth or take up my pen, and I can use big-boy words like "Union Pacific" or simply "SP" when I want to refer to the subject railroads. And I try to remember that young folks do visit the board and deserve to see adults act their age. Incidently, if you think "EssEffOh" better describes the airport "SFO", you might want to re-think that. "SFO" posted on an airline board means "San Francisco Airport" and everyone there knows that, much as everyone here on a train board knows quite well what UP or SP means. However, posting "EssEffOh" on an airline board is merely stupidese for "you need more education", much like posting "EwePee" on this train board means "you need to grow up".
