Bravo! Accept the few words that happen to appear. I've compared TN communications with others, and found that TN is exceptionally clean. Rude words are rare in this forum. I had a problem with lots of spam mails each day (like Brian, remember?). I installed a filter program, but I got another problem. Nearly all mails were censured. Hundreds of word that COULD hide profanity were stopped. E.g. pot, mouthful, fire, hot, etc. I don't dare mention more, they may be blocking TN. I still get spam, but found it easy to just mark and delete. Windows Live Mail can easily learn what kind of mail I WANT, and all others are dumped in a spam box. Takes just a few seconds to delete. I'm not upset any more.
