Technology cannot eliminate inappropriate content. You cannot heal by patching. You cannot make something wholesome by merely eliminating the elements that have crossed a certain threshhold of tolerance. Even after you've cleaned up, the content is still inappropriate - maybe there is no swearing, but it is still does not edify, and if so it is still darkness. Swearing is there to make it easier for you to tell the wolf apart from the sheep, it is your friend, it is a spiritual safety device, it is like the mark the Amlicites have put on their foreheads. Do not remove it. -- Sasha Pachev Create online surveys at http://www.surveypro.com/ ____________________ BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ ___________________________________________________________________ List Info: http://uug.byu.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/uug-list
