This stuff is really, really, serious. Like those idiot web filters that block sites based on list or criteria that the company won't let anyone see. Until someone manages to hack it out and then everyone discovers what sort of internal biases it has (Martin Luther King related material, for example was blocked, if my memory serves me right). V-I-R-G-I-N? They are truly m-o-r-o-n-s. As you rightly point out, that's a legitimate major global business! What if you were trying to tell someone at that company you were arriving tomorrow on a V-r-g-n Atlantic flight at 8am and to meet them at the airport. How about the phrase "V-I-R-G-I-N TERRITORY", or a whole state of the United States that contains that string! Someone needs to prise open one of these email filtering softwares and see what sort of deranged view of the world it represents. Dog breeders, airlines, mobile phone companies, US States, what next? ____________________________________________________ To change your JDJList options, please visit: http://www.sys-con.com/java/list.cfm Be respectful!
