I don't believe that a python list manager would have a hard time coming up with a regex that /dev/nulled any post with the words "britney", "spears", "boobs", "tits", or the like. > I'm not particularly interested in that subject matter either, but > believe me there could be a lot more of that kind of thing than actually > makes it through! And if it doesn''t start getting filtered now, the spammers will see this list as an easy target and will attack it. Believe me.
