I think you're misinterpreting something. Both of your postings made it out
to the world. Or at least I saw them, so nothing was censored here. But then
again, New Mexicans tend to be a liberal lot.

If I had to guess, one of the HP3000-L's subscriber's email system sent you
those messages. I get something like them in about one out of ten messages that
I post nowadays, saying that I used inappropriate language. Of course, I read
over my posting and I can see nothing all that offensive. Whose ever machine
is rejecting my postings ought to be here when I'm programming if they're
looking for something offensive to edit, which of course, reminds me of one of my
favorite Dilbert cartoons:

First panel: Dilbert has his car in the garage and is pointing out the
problem to the mechanic. He says, "I think it's the %#*%*(#. Either that or it's the
%#$&#@ #$^#(!"

Second panel: Dilbert continues, "Or it could be the $#^@*)%@#!" The mechanic
is totally taken aback and is just looking at Dilbert with his jaw dropped
and his eyes the size of saucers.

Third panel: Dilbert says, "Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot where I was."
