I'm not crazy about the idea of a machine deciding where to insert asterisks in my poems. I've been doing it myself all along and never gotten into any hot water for my decisions. If I use profanity, it's to add a certain piquance to the work and an authenticity to the punk lifestyle frequently portrayed. We don't exactly talk like people in a Jane Austin novel. Would I be able to turn the automatic censor off and continue to handle the insertion of asterisks myself? I've posted more than 50 poems and short stories, and I haven't f*cked up yet. See? ;) Atticus
