Hi Mel,
I always like the word 'poop'. Seemed a lot more polite than other terms.
Used to be, many people's Grandmas were always interested in their
Grandkid's poop, to see how it was looking, ( if it was 'green' and 'fuzzy'
or had lots of semi-whole Cashews or Corn or Mucous or whatever ) as an
indicator of
Health and Mastication/Digestion/Intestine related things.
Probably close to no one does that anymore.
Being as I am occupied in Bird rescue-rehab, I am always looking at their
poops, since that is in many ways a source of information about things goin=
g
on with the sick or injured or wayward.
Might be hard to understand for those not initiated, but, after however lon=
g
of whatever corrective Medicinal and other Regimens, in rendering aid to th=
e
afflicted, finally seeing 'good poops' is enough to see one get Teary Eyed
with gratitude and Joy!

AS a hunter I was always interested in "Poop" - kiddie poop, moose poop
called "nuggets", bear "scats", deer pellets, turkey droppings......
there was much to be learned about the kids, the animals, the birds by
becoming a bit of a "scatoligist". For the hunter, animal habits,
location, male vs female - all could be told from a scat. Poop is a good
collective word telling much.

I missed the start of this thread. I saw Mel's comment that we do not have
and have never had a "bad word filter." Did someone actually complain abou=
t
bad words on Clayart? If so, I'd say they need to get a grip. This is suc=
h
an incredibly well-behaved discussion list. Aren't there much more
important things to worry about in this troubled world? Strong words can
provide needed emphasis and clarity. They can be very useful. They are
just part of the vocabulary that is useful in writing. If a person chooses
not to use "bad words" that is of course a personal choice and I respect it=
,
but of all the things going on this world that should outrage and offend
people, does an occasional "bad word" actually matter one bit?
And regarding John Rogers's post about scatology, my dad was a
zoologist/ecologist at UC Berkeley, and every time we were on a hike and
came across some scat on the trail my dad would poke at it with a stick and
say, "Oh look at this! It's from a red fox, and look, it ate a mouse, and
some berries, and what's this here?" He was a lot more interested than I
was.

Hi Vince,
You missed the whole theme of that thread. A member (Steve Mills I =3D
think) had a message returned with a note that it contained =3D
inappropriate language. He was wondering if Clayart has a "naughty word" =
=3D
filter. We don't and Mel made that clear.=3D20
I am pretty sure the reason this happens is that some school systems =3D
(K-12 primarily) do have such filters. They will not deliver messages =3D
that contain certain words or phrases. Since Clayart messages go out =3D
under each of our individual names, a message like that gets returned to =
=3D
us individually rather than bouncing back to Clayart. It is just one of =3D
the peculiarities of how email (and certain school administrators minds) =
=3D
work.
Regards,
John
