Dear Lou,
Your posting smacks at the heart of free speak. How can it be free speech if a poor overworked moderator (or even a cpu program) has to sort through every mailing to make sure "hateful or derogatory" wordinds dont slip through the cracks.
I agree these cpu programs do exist, I personally had to use one on a website I used to run that got over run by hoards of idiotic Christians trying to 'bait the sinning witches'. But I found I was losing a lot of interesting posts because the program dumped everything with the words that Id programmed into it to look out for.
A.s.i.o. uses something similar when looking for postings that use the words like 'bomb'. Rather unfortunate don't you agree if it was someone trying to sell you a car that was a bit of a bomb, but apart. from a few minor mechanical problems ran well.
I was a bit of a posting freak over the past two weeks, but as Jo will attest I have apologized to those that I feel deserve it. I have even explained my actions, and as yet am still waiting for a reply from Jo as to how, if in anyway I can help out.
So please don't suggest methods that censor postings that simply don't work, unless you wish to hold your hand up for the position of 'postings censor', then please contact Jo as moderator or whoever runs this site and offer your assistance.
But I guess then you would have to be totally unbiased :}
