This is a newsgroup. I have no idea who runs the place, but I appreciate it's
existence. What I don't understand is that there isn't a simple filter to dump
posts containing the word ***, for example. There could be a simple word list,
which should be posted from time to time such as the repairfaq pointer.

I understand this group is unmoderated (or it appears so with posts like that),
but this could be a simple automated process. I was interested in electronics
at 8 years old, and had we computers and internet, , , , , , what could happen.

Now in my personal life, there are times I'm quite the pottymouth in my own
home, or certain other places. In public I tend to clean it up, although I slip
sometimes.

If I was a young person, living in, say a Christian home where this kind of
language is not tolerated, my parent could walk up on me and be horrified and
cut me off, or the ISP or filters on the PC might block all access to SER, or
maybe all newsgroups.

I don't think this serves any of our interests.

Am I off base here, or is it that I'm alright but the world is all wrong
(present company excluded) ?
