My sister's work email address is at a catholic school in Wangaratta.
If I need to contact her during working hours I have to think about nearly
every word I type.
I have had emails rejected for words I do not consider objectionable.
Can I assume that it is partly caused by the software purchased.
Rooting for Mark's team :-)

BTW my dad's censorship for his MAN magazines back in the 1950's was to hide
them behind the valance on top of his wardrobe.
The small pantry folding ladder ensured there was an extra contribution to my
sex education. School stuff was all useless euphemisms.

The problem with this censorship is that it is more weasely than you can
possibly think.
For example, a newsletter we sent some years ago out was not received by one
reader. He used his school email address. The school filter blocked the pdf
newsletter because there was mention of a pilot whose name was Dick. And that's
a rude word.
Similar problems occurred with and mention of Willie, Willy, Roger and
Johnston.
However, other things like arse (not a US word), wanger, todger got through
as well as all discussions relating to the Blue Helmets team (except where
nudity was concerned).
It's all too hard, even for the honest folk... if there are any left.
