I have to say I am surprised that spam filters at other universities are objecting to that subject line alone. That is certainly a legitimate line of inquiry at an institution of higher education. You definitely need to point this out to your IT departments. I work at a Christian college and there was no problem with Stephen's message. My daily reading through the titles of my spam mail is almost always uneventful with the exception of some broad distribution e-mails (like Microsoft Office newsletters) that appear to be spam.

Others also have had difficulty. Rather than my original header being merely boring (as I complained in a follow-up post), it shows my naivety in not realizing that what I thought was an innocuous phrase instead meant big trouble. It actually confirms my point that in America, the trend is towards no sex for anyone at any time, not even in writing. The thought police are among you. If I may be permitted to kvell concerning my own country, my favourite commentator on matters sexual, Marty Klein, had this to say in a recent essay on the news that swingers' clubs have been pronounced legal in Canada by our Supreme Court. "Some countries attempt to export democracy abroad. Other countries actually practice it." (see http://www.sexualintelligence.org/ and I hope that url doesn't make this message spam either). Here's the suppressed original message from me: ---------------------- Alerted through another list, I offer this rather remarkable report on restriction of freedom in young people in today's New York Times http://www.nytimes.com/2006/01/31/national/31sex.html?_r=1&pagewanted=al l Why does it always seem to be Kansas that's involved?
