The above post was made under the assumptions: Profanity is censored. ( which it isn’t, IMHO, a good thing) and: I could edit anything that wasn’t censored. Which i couldn’t. Is the edit function off? If so, please remove any offensive words inappropriate for the ATMB forum. Thanks ---

From FAQ; Are there any censor features? Why do my posts have words converted to asterisks (_)? If the administrator has chosen censor your posts based on certain words, these words will be blanked out with stars (_) or a similar character in your posts. This censoring is done by a computer simply searching for words, and is by no stretch of the imagination ‘intelligent’. I was just wondering. **weirddave** tested it much more thoroughly than I Did. 😃 Peace, mangeorge ---
