Last year, I didn't post about it because I thought it was pretty much standard.

I would guess that the software is American, and they're very keen on this sort of thing. Yahoo!, in its infinite wisdom, banned a young woman from Scunthorpe from joining one of its e-groups!

So, please, no one start talking about the use of drain cocks on the Scunthorpe and Penistone Railway ;)

It only seems to work one way, of course. Look who wrote the music for the first six series of "Buffy" :o

I remember having just such a problem on one forum a few years back when I was trying to talk about the IoMR's Beyer, Peacock locomotives... :roll:

We had problems with our work e-mail for a while, it was a bit overly zealous in what it blocked.

I'm a civil engineer, and it got upset with an e-mail a colleague sent that had the word "hardcore" in it.

It also blocked an e-mail from my wife that said something like "your video from amazon has arrived xxx"

:roll: :lol:
