Perhaps the most potent effect of this if it were implimented as an option would be not so much to screen out bad words, but to make aware how unpleasant foul language can be to most people. It might have a moderating effect in this regard. Cryonet is the worst offender I have yet come across in an email group for non-PC speech. I am amazed at the depth of negative feeling of many frequent contributors. I am afraid that cryonet is not a very effective advertisement for the concept of cryonics. Rather it seems to paint it as something of a cult, which is attracting sociopaths. Sincerely --Doug Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=5400
