If you could see your way clear to doing that, John, I think it would solve a whole bunch of problems. For me, even though I would really like to see dashes used in the publicly displayed titles, I sometimes want to check out a bawdy song thread, so I probably wouldn't use the filter. But I would like dashes were used in the displayed titles. And it would probalby solve the filter problem which is more important.

Actually I would like to see more than just replacing vowels in the "censored" words. I think f--- or ---- are more appropriate in this context than f-ck. Anyone who actually knows something about a song with ---- in the title :-) will surely not be put off from reading or contributing to the thread by the dashes? I mean, how many songs are there called "----, ----, ---- and ----?" The worst song I think I ever heard sung for sheer raunchiness with no redeeming content was called "I Love My Girl."

WYSIWYG, I think your post at 2:43 PM on April 30 was quite wonderful, helpful and well stated. The reason I didn't comment on it earlier is, I had given up and stopped reading this thread; thinking a final decision had been made I figured the rest was probably just grousing. I'm glad the subject is still open to discussion.
