A little more about amazonfail

My previous two posts were a little sloppy-- I need to watch it if I get that caught up in a conflict again. Getting angry or giddy doesn't mean epistomology 101 no longer applies.

I think one of the things driving the technical problems was a sub-cultural mismatch. Some people think it's the right thing to use blunt language about sex and other people think it's equally obligatory to use euphemisms. The latter group still has a good bit of social dominance.
