Personally, I think the whole issue of swearing on-list is taken way
too seriously [1].  There are many ways of expressing emotion;
considering one such form "unprofessional" is just a form of
suffocation.  Members of the mailing list automatically pick up on the
influential styles (i.e. the styles of the active participants and
effective communicators).  If you think your style is "better",
there's exactly one way to verify the claim: you participate actively;
your style will automatically rub off on the others if it is shown to
be effective.
