Ease up there Ben... the vulgar word is completely out of place here

Usenet filters out swear words, so there shouldn't be any reason for
something I type to get through. If they want to outwit me, they'll
have to
use a regex then won't they - possibly <regex type="air"
tested="false
"f+\s*u+\s*c+\s*k" </regex ?
If a post matches that then it's vulgar. I'll leave it up to you to
construct a function which takes a string array of defined swear words
and
come up with a load of regexes (or a single one ;-) ) to eliminate any
variation on them. And I expect optimization.

(remember, younger programmers come here for help also)

I AM one of the younger programmers - how old did you think I was??!!
40?

Tip - if you want to killfile me, notice that I only ever have two
different
names, Beeeeeeeves probably has a different amount of "e"s in it when
I'm at
work to when I'm at home. I do change the fake mail address from time
to
time, basically because it's easy and it ****es Bob O'Bob off.

I haven't felt "cool" since my mind was mullered in summer 2002, so
there's
no love lost there I'm afraid.

I have no desire to killfile you... when you decide to buckle down and
actually answer questions, I find them interesting and illuminating to
read. It's just when you get into these "the hell with helping people
moods" (you are bored, I presume), you sometimes tend to go overboard.
Calling people names seems childish (maybe you **are** a lot younger
than I give you credit for<g). As for usenet filters, I'm not too sure
about them, but the f***ing word came through unmodified in your post.
