You're not seriously advocating an auto-censor function, are you? Or are you? They can produce ludicrous results for which the athlete Tyson G** was made an inadvertent victim.

OK, that was not the subject of your original posting but it genuinely isn't clear to me how serious you were then either.

I explained my intent of the OP in my two subsequent
posts in this thread. No repeating, right?

This continuation is in no way a gripe.

My computer access is not daily, so when
I make any minor error, I may not find it
immediately and have to resort to multiple
postings answering myself. Sorry.

In the OP I was describing an unlikely but
potential terror attack mechanism that our
humor might make us susceptible to.

No, an auto-censor function would backfire,
as both your references show. Some mod
must have used a global find/replace in my OP.

It was funny, so NP.

lol
