Another interesting aspect of USENET to observe is that some people
think that substituting * characters for one or two letters in a word
will somehow make the word less offensive to those it would otherwise
offend.

Actually, this doesn't exist just on USENET and other electronic
communication forums, but it still is somewhat amusing to see.
