Well it probably isn't a single pillock as such. It seems that a number of companies are running S/W which is scared of the word "bollocks" and more. They seem to think that the IT staff haven't got enough to do without maintaining S/W which filters out such email and bounces it back to employees, so that they can in turn spend more time rooting out such words and less before resending same. Of course, such S/W needs a lot of maintenance, or at least the word lists do. Because most email-literate employees soon realise that although they can't use the word "bollocks", they can save company time by using the term "b o l l o c k s" or even "b*o*l*l*c*k*s" or possibly "b0110ck5". But of course it did use up company time determining which of these gets through, just in time for the IT staff to use up company time spotting them and updating the list to trap them also. ...Bollards! Still, at least all those "year 2000 experts" won't be out of work. They will be able to move on and become "foul language filter experts". :-) > Sorry for the waste of bandwidth, caused by my use of the word "bollocks". > And my sincere apologies to any readers of the newsgroup who may be offended > by my use of the word "bollocks", but since no-one complained, I guess it's > just him. Don't worry, we got used to reading "bollocks" from you. :-)) Cheers, -- Mark. +----------------------------------------------------------+-----------+ | Mark D.
