Rick,
     Oh, how this thread brings back the memories!

     When I first put BlinkLink up, and BlinkTalk was just a local area
on the board, I think Mark Senk left message number 2 which spoke about
how his Votrax said "sugar" and "fudge" instead of two particular cuss
words.  I think we had mutual consent at the time that it was wrong and
demeaning for the Votrax people to spend money to add the censur to
their synthesizer, but at that time mutual consent meant Mark and me!
     We brought this up again after BlinkTalk had become an echo, but it
seemed nobody really gave a sugar!
                                                        Willie
 

... Like a bat out of Bellevue!
