My practice is to avoid sticking my digits in the toilet.
Some servicemen were about to leave the restroom. One was standing at the sink. He
said to the other, "In the navy, they taught us to wash our hands after going to the
bathroom." The other said, "In the army they taught us not to pee on our hands." The
third said, "In the air force we learned how to hold it." (I just added the last one
to this old joke.)

I was referring to hosts censoring emails that have specific enclosures. I do
understand the need to protect your servers, though. And I certainly see the need for
it for Intranets and companies that have networks that can be affected by a single
user's mistake.
