Robert H. Zimmerman thinks so:

Just like old Saxophone Joe
When he's got the hogshead up on his toe
Oh me, oh my
Love that country pie

Listen to the fiddler play
When he's playin' 'til the break of day
Oh me, oh my
Love that country pie

Raspberry, strawberry, lemon and lime
What do I care?
Blueberry, apple, cherry, pumpkin and plum
Call me for dinner, honey, I'll be there

Saddle me up my big white goose
Tie me on 'er and turn her loose
Oh me, oh my
Love that country pie

I don't need much and that ain't no lie
Ain't runnin' any race
Give to me my country pie
I won't throw it up in anybody's face

Shake me up that old peach tree
Little Jack Horner's got nothin' on me
Oh me, oh my
Love that country pie

This post is not about pie.

And when I ride Durham's subway, I don't expect
my kid to be exposed to foul language either.

So trolls are bad, then? Is it because they "hook" you with a phony
claim or a fictitious mistake and then make fun of you for correcting
the errors? If that passes for humor with them, they're to be pitied.
Now, how do you spot them and let them know that they haven't fooled
you?

For starters this isn't a chat room. This is Usenet. You really don't
want your kids using it or reading here. The occasional bit of foul
language is nothing compared to the spam, virii and pornography they are
likely to encounter in this medium. Think of Usenet as the American old
west in the mid 1800s. There is no law here. There are a lot of good
people but there are bad people as well and the two may not always be easy
to distinguish. I would suggest that you find a moderated web based
bulletin board for your children to use if you want to involve them in an
interactive medium such as this.

Yes, it IS your responsibility - this is not Sesame Street, this is
not a "chat room" nor is it the "WEB". This is Usenet, the longest
lived and last bastion of free speech. If you think this is bad you
should check out a good chunk of any other groups - we're quite civil.

The problem with that is that the moderator often
doesn't see offensive material before children have
already seen it.

Many people have to pay to access the usenet.

Well I do make sure we are not subscribed to any
criminal groups. Still, that doesn't mean people
should use bad language on these "good" groups.

Wait, since usenet is mail based, wouldn't that make it
easy to route all posts through one person? Are there
any moderated usenet groups? Especially cooking?
