RE: Surely OS/400 can host e-mail, can't it?

But you've got it all wrong.  It was not censored for s*m*u*t content.  It
was censored for sexual discrimination.
"S e e  D i c k  &  J a n e" represents books which tried to force
traditional male/female role models upon children.  The thought police
believe that this represents sexual discrimination in it's worst fashion.

I hope that what I've just said above isn't true.

But if you read the version you included below, you'll see:

     > The simple "CENSORED" instructions works the very best,

So I went to my Deleted Items folder to find out what the horrific
phrase was.  Are you read for this?  Sensitive readers should look away
now (I've added some spaces to route around the censorware damage):

     "S e e  D i c k  &  J a n e"

Children's reading books will now have to be renamed to
"Non-gender-specific-anatomical-part and Jane".

I'd say it was farcical, if that wasn't too good a word for it.

Cheers,

Martin.
