Steve, I appreciate your opinion, although, as you probably guessed, I don't agree with it. Without repeating my whole message to Don the Sysop (sorry Don, I forgot your last name and my text buffer isn't large enough!), I don't believe an 'editing' (let's not call it censoring so as not to push any more emotional buttons) standard based on offensiveness is not workable. I, for example, DO find it offensive to be forced to pay homage to other people's belief in god by limiting my use of certain words. This is because I find the whole concept of religion silly. So now we're faced with a situation where I can offend someone by communicating one way but I will be offended if I am not allowed to communicate that way. In programmer's parlance, "there's a bug in the code!" At least from where I sit! – Mark
