Hi Melissa,

I realise that point. My purpose was sort of a friendly reminder that this
is a bug report, and not a place for discussing whether or not the word
"dude" is politically correct or not, and nothing more.

I do think it's an amusing thing to read in a changelog entry though, and
probably for the better: nmap has had a reputation of being somewhat
childish (calling people "dude", saying things are "fucked up", etc) in it's
error messages.

As for nmap 4.52, it's not yet in Debian I don't think, so we'd be looking
at nmap 4.52-0ubuntu1, and I'm not sure how lamont feels about that, so
we should probably just leave that to him.
