If you drive people around all day but they don't pay you, would you have nothing to chauffeur it?

You have given a wonderful thought of the day. Thank you

That sucks, they really auto pay you.
Contrary to popular belief, nobody owes you anything.

Here's a tip for those Europeans; try setting the Culture locale to "US/International". If that fails, hit the reset-button quick

Do we really need to be referred to articles that contain phrases such as "badass motherfucking sorcerer-hacker wizard-god" or "interviews in the Valley have truly gotten f***ing awful"? [I didn't star out "uck", it was done by the Lounge input editor!]
I was in the US Coast Guard. We didn't hesitate to use coarse language amongst ourselves. But its use was with other Coast Guardsmen, not the general public.
I doubt strongly that articles containing this language would be published in any reputable publication: in a peer reviewed publication or in a newspaper or in a book. I also doubt that these phrases could be used in a business meeting without reprimand.
I'm in no way a prude. But this is use of foul language was for shock purposes only. It added nothing to the value of the article. As a matter of fact, I stopped reading when I came across the phrases.
I find the Code Project Insider useful in that it presents me with articles that are useful. Mostly, I read for entertainment. Sometimes for their newsworthiness. But if this trend continues, I fear that I will cancel my subscription to the Code Project Insider and read more carefully the BBC articles on Tech and Science.

I'd suggest that this should be raised in Sugs.n.Bugs[^] - Chris can look and reprimand / comment as necessary.

I'd raise this in the Sugs and Bugs forum. I do agree with you on this, but the sugs/bugs forum is the place to let the powers that be know of your discontent.

Done, thanks for the suggestion.

Are you referring to the article where Kent's comment said, "Caution: uses strong language"?
Was that not sufficient warning that the linked article might contain strong language?

Yes.
However it is not so much an issue that a warning was given; rather the issue is that a warning was needed.

That sounds more like a problem with the author of the article than a problem with Code Project.

Come on! The author apparently believes that his language was acceptable for its shock value.
The Daily Insider needs to remember its readers' sensibilities and honor them to a much greater extent.
Dissemination was a decision by Code Project, not the author.

But those would be your sensibilities, wouldn't they?
Or have you conducted a survey of all 11.5 million members to ask each of us what we find offensive?
If your intention is that there should never be an article linked from the newsletter which might possibly offend any of the members who see it, then we'll end up with a completely empty newsletter! When you're dealing with a global community, absolutely everything could be considered offensive to someone.

He didn't say he speaks for all the users. He has a right to voice a complaint based upon his own individual sensibilities.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Which is partly my point: "... needs to remember its readers' sensibilities and honor them to a much greater extent" actually translates to, "... needs to remember MY sensibilities and honor them to a much greater extent".
He has a right to voice a complaint, but not to suggest that his complaint represents the sensibilities of all readers of the newsletter.
