If anyone wants to read further into what these guys go through I found an excellent article. It tells all about what families of the fallen go through and what the military does to help them. VERY long read but I highly suggest everyone take the time to read it to the end.

After you read that all the way through, here is a video about a fallen soldier where you can see alot of the things talked about in the article. Be sure to read the entire article first.

It is totally frustrating trying to read the forum today. Censorship usually has side effects worse than the occassional adult word slipping through. It is really a shame the above article was transformed into something practically unreadable.

That was my fault; see my post above as to how that happened. LT deleted the word censor and that corrected the article, so the problem should not be repeated.

Meaning no disrespect, I don't consider prohibiting profanity censorship, at least not in the traditional sense of restricting discussion of ideas. I admit that I should have given more thought to the effect of that particular use of a wildmask/wildcard in the word censor, but that doesn't mean the goal of the "10 year old daughter rule" thwarts open discussion of topics and ideas.

A poor choice of words on my part after a frustrating experience trying to read the top post. I certainly respect the intentions and spirit of the ten year old daughter rule. While I am not particularly offended by more colorful language, The rule results in a certain civility and politeness which goes way beyond the simple restriction you have asked for.

It's a great board and works well. Thanks.

I have been on lots of forums and with the 10 year old daughter rule it spawns alot more thought and allows respect to go both ways in the board.

I hate reading forums and in every topic it eventually turns into a flame war and the topic is lost:mad5 <---- I know that I am off topic but I had to add my .02 and give a Kudos to all who frequent this board.

I guess when I orignally read the Original Post, Charles had already fixed the alleged problem.

However, I have used such word searching programs before and had similar results the first time out.

Heck when I use a simple search and replace in my Word program I end up with all kinds of problems.

I do a lot of religious writings and when I first started using this version of Word (r) I tried doing something like this: job to Job meaning the biblical book not the work thing we do. well the actual word job (for work was there) and turned it into a capitol--well I did this in the "auto correct" function, so whenever I wrote the word job it automatically became Job. I did this for the 66 books but at times I'd type Joh and It'd turn into John <space> when I really wanted Johnson (my daughters married name).

It all takes a bit of tweeking, and I can understand the intent behind, but you have to use stuff like s??t instead of s*t. The question marks look for two letters in a particular sequence.

You might try this if your program utilizes that feature.
