So far only those who can't live without swearing have posted here so I guess it wont hurt to hear from the other side. When I was young (a Submariner in my 20s) I could out swear and drink most people. But when my Daughter was born and a 5 year old neighbor boy came over and wondered "where the f*** the baby was", I told Her Mother that my Daughter would not learn to talk like that from me. I'll admit that it was hard to quit and if I get real mad a word may slip out. But I don't miss it. Does this mean that I'm a better Fly fisher? NO, It just means that I'm more pleasent to be around and I don't fish with people who do. Just my two cents.
