What does the software censor?

   I find it amusing (bemusing, even) that on a rock forum, the title of a rock song (b*****d, by Ian Hunter) should be censored down to just the first and last letters. It's not censored on the album, or, indeed, in accounts of royal history. That priggish software can be a real b*****d, for sure!

So what CAN we write? How is the line drawn? Let us test the waters, grown up free speech and Zappa fans. Down with the PMRC!
