> Excuse me, but how does bringing out the broad brush about American society bring "something new to say and demonstrate the highest level of respect for others" (as the Grumpy Editor asked) in this discussion?
I don't think anyone brought up the point before that the problem may not be the developer who made a dirty joke but society's attitude towards it. I should have phrased it differently, but I still think it's a valid point to make.

Conferences may be more trouble than they are worth Posted Mar 25, 2013 12:03 UTC (Mon) by pboddie (subscriber, #50784) [Link] I wonder how all this will affect the tendency of various people in the different Python communities to use Monty Python references in their materials. Making references to Romans, particularly visiting dignitaries, might be more trouble than it's worth.

I dunno. Adria *is* a plausibly Latinate name, heck very close to that of at least one notable emperor. (I can't help noticing the social context of names here. The whole personality of said emperor seems to shift if you modernize his name by removing the first letter: Emperor Adrian...)
