Dr Manners and I have exchanged a few PMs that included the name of an avocado variety--but the software for this forum censors the name--it replaces the letters with asterisk. The variety is Mrs. Holland--why would it do that?

It obviously censored it here as well--the name is Mrs. H followed by O, then 2 Ls, then an "and"

I mentioned it before, notice about my discussion on the egg-beater shaped windmills that are made in H.oll.and. If i spell it out directly, then it is blotted. Perhaps the programmer of the forum software does not like that as a name, or perhaps they are in dispute with the name.

In the past I have had to change the name of the country Holl-and to the Netherlands, before the software would accept it. - Millet

Yes, this is a very odd software, I even noticed that an entire thread "Bad Banking Bailout!" has disappeared! Laughing

Awe c'mon Laaz, don't leave them hanging. Laughing
That was the name of a very bad person from another forum who was not welcome on this forum & was banned from joining. Does Another Alter Ego ring a bell Millet?
