>OK, several people have had their 'fun' with showing how to bypass the UT scheme for uncut 4-letter words. (So much for the theory that if you allow kids to swear, they'll stop doing it after 15 minutes).

Kevin - this isn't the first time you've used the term Tourette's in conjunction with the issue of profanity. I'm asking you to stop. Most people with Tourette's do not spout profanity. It's a serious neurological condition that involves "tics," which can be anything from a tiny involuntary movement to uncontrolled utterances. For most, the condition can be managed with a combination of medication and training. But it's not an easy thing to live with.

People with Tourette's, including one of my nephews, have enough problems without having people equate them with those who choose to have pottymouths.
