Took the words right out of my mouth.
I'd agree with this, except for the fact that chiffboard.mati.ca and chiffandfipple.com are
very different URLs, and blockers really wouldn't confuse the two. The board may be
blocked, but that should not block the main site.
On a more (off-)topical note,
I've always wondered why we are so upset by swearing. Most of the original meanings
that made the words taboo have been lost over time (unless you are specifically referring
to excrement or a sexual act). Some folks say that it is unChristian-like to cuss, but the
only words with any religious connotation are "Damn" or "Hell", and many people
consider these the mildest of curse words. (My wife finds it funny that, when a song is
censored for radio, and it contains the word "G-ddamn", they will usually bleep out the
"G-d" and leave in the "damn".)
