    I entered a new signature line:

    In a daily repeated plebiscite, in which every penny gives a right to vote, the consumers determine who should own and run the plants, shops, and farms. The control of the material means of production is a social function, subject to the confirmation or revocation by the sovereign consumers. -- Ludwig von Mises

    I get a message telling me that I have entered a censored word. It also changed the text to as follows:

    In a daily repeated plebiscite, in which every penny gives a right to vote, the consumers determine who should own and run the plants, shops, and farms. The con(*)trol of the material means of production is a social function, subject to the confirmation or revocation by the sovereign con(*)sumers. -- Ludwig von Mises

    Are the words "control" and "consumers" censored words?

    There was this one science forum that was really annoying. Apparently, whenever one tried to type "a-s-s" into a post, it showed up instead as the word "donkey".
    The problem was, when I typed "glass container", it showed up as "gldonkey container", and "potassium" showed up as "potdonkeyium". It's hard to post on a science forum without the words glass and potassium.

    It came out OK. Did it change it back or did you have to fix it?

    Cockpit. Bulldog. Pitbull. Just checking.

    Yes, it did work out after all. I just went back into the signature editor, modified it, and saved. No problem.

    I chalk it up to computer weirdness!
