Ah right, I see - thanks. There aren't any file types that get copied without checking, everything that is published gets scanned. And in addition, .ms files are explicitly excluded. >> He indicated that he fixed the whole-case redaction by neutering the >> offensive word in that file. > > And Glenn later clarified that it was his action that actually fixed it > - removing the opinion.ms- that also contained the P word before I'd looked. > I saw "opinion.ms- needs review" on the list and since I only saw the .ms > file in the directory, naturally thought that was the one needing cleanup. > > I believe he also mentioned the skipping of the opinion.ms was by the ARC > request so they didn't have to go back and re-edit all the previous ones > with the P word in the comments.

That makes sense - there do seem to be a large number of opinion.ms files that would trigger the rules in both the old and new mechanisms. The ignoring of files is done on the file suffix rather than the name, so it is the .ms that is the problem rather than the full filename. As I recollect, that's because there are a number of variant names given to opinion files - opinion-draft.ms, opinion.revote.ms and so forth. What might be better is if we processed all "*opinion*.ms" files specially, so that we ignore anything in them that is commented out. There are sufficient number of them that it makes sense to special-case the processing for them. I'll have a think about how best to do that. Does that sound like it would address the problem? -- Alan Burlison --
