Heh, I was shocked when I read that spam/obscenity filters were now 
looking for the word 'beaver' because the Canadians had a special 
meaning when they used the word. I would have thought mussels would be 
more appropriate since I had people trying to get me to figure out 
something when they would show me a sample at a certain angle.

Good job filters! Maybe your efforts are better directed at eliminating 
the source of the problem? Incriminating evidence to put certain people 
away for some time or better for all time would be much appreciated.
