"There are 10 the 11th power stars in the galaxy. That used to be a huge number. But it's only a hundred billion. It's less than the national deficit! We used to call them astronomical numbers. Now we should call them economical numbers." Richard Feynman
Yes. I simply posted "DELPHI" in my reply and it would not post.
Then someone has the filter set on "Profanity Filter".. somehow it's been set for words other than the profanity.. I dunno maybe ask Neil since it's his software he might know.
Wow, thanks - this looks fascinating. I'll go over it tomorrow. I always learn something here!
It is fascinating.. and once you realize what is happening then you get wise to it.. Educators use it a lot.. for meetings.. putting groups together and they want the group to reach a consensus.. the outcome is already decided essentially..

From the FR post.
The method works. It is very effective with parents, teachers, school children, and any community group. The "targets" rarely, if ever, know that they are being manipulated. If they do suspect this is happening, they do not know how to end the process.
This worked like a charm with an ex-foreman I worked with. I would tell a co- worker to plant an idea in his head and as soon as he repeated it to the crew one of us would chime in, "Great idea, Ray," and he would stick out his chest and troop back to the pickup like a big shot. Little did he know that we got what we wanted from him. ;0)
The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic State itself. That, in its essence, is Fascism -- ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or any controlling private power. Franklin Delano Roosevelt
Thanks LP... now I have two great resources for international newspapers... that is how I found THIS site in the first place.
Much appreciated!

The profanity filter only works on the S & F words, and wouldn't prevent posting anyway as those words just get asterisks inserted. The only thing that matches that description is if it was detected as a duplicate post. Either that or there was some kind of snafu with the connection when you were trying to post, but I'd bet that it was detected as a dup post.
There's nothing in the software that would prevent posting based on content except if it was a dup post.

Thanks Neil.. I didnt know if the s/w was any different therefore if it was possible to add words etc.. thanks for the explanation.

I really should go to the dentist.
After a shooting spree, they always want to take the guns away from the people who didn't do it. I sure as hell wouldn't want to live in a society where the only people allowed guns are the police and the military. - William S Burroughs
Sorry - what is DELPHI? It sounds familiar but I'm blanking out.
It's mainly known for being a huge automotive parts manufacturer, which recently filed for bankruptcy. But it is also a computer programming language, based on Pascal, made by Borland.

Yep....that's LP's Badlie, Sabre, Abelard...you nailed it correctly
That's the ever lovin' truth. Good to see you. ;0)
