No, Bill was talking about the domain of the party with a "banned
word" list being vegena.net, which...their own domain name could be
misspelled into a clinical term that some sites might ban. Hey, it's not
unthinkable...AOL banned the word "breast" at one point, sparking HUGE
outcry from breast cancer support groups. ISPs have done some really
idiotic things.
Personally, I feel if you're old enough to have a contract with an ISP,
you're old enough for any content, get over it. Actually, a -really-
good way for a company to screw themselves over -is- by censoring. As I
remember someone explaining it, that could possibly cost them their common
carrier status. It has to be all or nothing with a common carrier.
My suspicion is that the word "crap" in the subject is what vegena is
banning...the bodies have been innocuous.
