<P>I don't think it's so much 'idiotic prudism' as crappy algorithmism. This whole cyberspace deal is so new....it's actually a great opportunity, if you can just get a handle on something that's needed (like really accurate and good filters).<BR>_D<BR></P></DIV><BR><BR><BR>"Things are only free to the extent that you don't pay for them".-Don Elliker

<DIV></DIV>>The problem is those in decision-making positions find it easier to
<DIV></DIV>>punish all of us than to hunt down the few that are guilty. Just like
<DIV></DIV>>the teacher that keeps the whole class after school instead of going to
<DIV></DIV>>the trouble to find out which student was the one that caused whatever
<DIV></DIV>>was the problem.

<DIV></DIV>>Isn't it great when idiotic prudes rule cyberspace. Now we're getting
<DIV></DIV>>legitimate communications censored because the word "H e x" sounds or is
<DIV></DIV>>spelled a bit like "S e x". Or it is perhaps it's association with w i t
<DIV></DIV>>c h c r a f t? What next? Blocking emails with words which are anagrams
<DIV></DIV>>of other "sensitive" words? Who are these faceless idiots who deem what
<DIV></DIV>>we can talk about anyway?
