Hummm.. leverage (sp?) by the lowest common denominator?

It's our duty to EDUCATE people, not adapt ourselves to their deluded
security policies. 

Your message has an "adult" in it. If someone sets up a porn filter,
will you stop saying "adult" so the guy can still receive your message?

A long time ago I subscribed and unsubscribed to a local brazilian BBS
at the same day. The guys had a profanity filter up, and it was
filtering messages in portuguese with an english dictionary. The answer
of the support: "Yeah, we know, but we don't know how to turn it off.
try to write in portuguese, but check if there are english dirty words
inside your text". 

Well, "signed" in portuguese is "ASSinado".  It's a bit hard to think
dirty in one language while writting in another, so I gave up.
