: Hans, as a favor to me so I don't die from laughing 'til I choke, may I
: suggest that you try "c*ounting" as an alternative spelling if you find it
: necessary to insert an asterisk?  I don't think I've seen *that* word used
: so casually and profusely since a character in "The Exorcist" punctuated
: every sentence with it.  I fear that if you continue your head may begin
: spinning around.

Yes well I was only following conventions like the asterisk is commonly used
in words like N*k*n, C*n*n (sorry, Lex ;) and pr*s*d*nt. But there might be
a secret hidden link between c*unt and c*nt just like you suggested. I can
imagine Ge*rge Double You woke up frequently in the last past weeks in the
middle of the night, bathing in sweat, floating in the air, spinning around
his head, shouting: "F*ck this c*unt! F*ck this c*unt!". ;) ;)
