I would CERTAINLY hope that the software also informs the individual that
the software is somehow offensive to the posting software.  If I was attempting
to post a message informing the world of an imminent disaster and it was
arbitrarily rejected because somewhere within the text of the discussion that
C word was used, I would be horrified, if not outraged.

P.S.  Does anyone out there have a LEGAL definition of what copyright really
means?  I don't think that copyright means that the author can decide how
something is distributed; copyright in and of itself simply states who owns
the document in question.  I believe that there is some other term that should
be used for the conditional release statements that many folks use.
