Aw, gee wizz.  I guess, contrary to my expectation, that the PCI bus 
doesn't after all stimulate the most primal urges instincts of human 
kind.  

I can see where your lists would have problems in this area.  You are
dealing with sexual topics, and all the maggots will crawl out from their
respective rocks to have their say, to be noticed for once in their lives, particularly by the opposite sex.  I'll bet even odds that 99.9% of 
your offenders are males, who have problems with women, right?  And most
of the other .1% are still males using a female e-mail moniker.

You might say that the maggots are simply part of the soil you have
chosen to work, Amy.  But that's what makes it interesting, no?

I'll stick to circuits and wave-forms, thank you.
