I believe he was referring to the sh*t word. Other phrases such as "take
a dump" or "foul" are generally considered less offensive. I believe
your response to him is mocking and unworthy of someone in the Apple
community.  It also detracts from the point you were trying to make,
that pirates would be unlikely to trash their own sites.  Of course,
maybe one pirate would trash another out of spite or jealousy.  So
please folks, be considerate of each other.  There aren't many of us
Apple 2 fans left, and such divisions only hasten the demise of the
Apple 2 memory.
