>I agree, Bruce EXCEPT that a compulsory change seems more than a bit harsh to me.

Well, I agree if a forum is going to use a message troll, it should describe what you are doing wrong and suggest a way to improve the title.

>>>"Need Help With Strange Message"

How about beating the troll with "Need assistance with strange message?" :-) Just kidding <g>

I'm used to the eBay chat/forum censor troll, we find all kinds of inventive ways to beat their troll, it's the accidental offenses that really make us go nuts.

eBay is terrible with their troll - say you write an extended message and then it refuses to post saying you have the word "whore" somewhere in it. It doesn't say where. No one ever (AFAIK) uses that word directly, it's always a case of someone saying something like "who responded" and the blanks don't count so the troll thinks you are a dirty old/young man/woman. Then you have to scour your post trying to locate where the dickens you offended the stupid troll...very frustrating sometimes.
