GuitarGeek tried that for a while on a forum he moderated: the software was set to substitute the word "bubbles" for any of a list of unacceptable words. It was terribly funny reading a story someone posted where a character kept saying things like "Oh, bubbles!" <BR/><BR/>sniz-- thank you for ranting on my blog!

To all those that write with constant cussing I say write your blog the way you want, but before you hit the publish button just go through and try to cahnge the bad words to something funnier.

I may read them occasionally, but I will not spread the link around. I also try not to read it often because "garbage in, garbage out" I don't want it in my thoughts. I so rarely hear it that when I do it screams and echos in my head over and over.Qtpies7https://www.blogger.com/profile/04612364762900912663noreply@blogger.com
