Yeah, that could be it. I still remember some nanny software from years ago that blocked emails from Heather (because it contains "eat her") and Maryanne ("aryan").

I have no idea if this would trigger a filter--and it's not profanity. But "...in a zip lock..." does contain "nazi". I could see an overly agressive filter looking for that word, but who knows if that's really what happened here.

And I admit I'm quite old-fashioned, and perhaps even a bit puritanical. But I really wish "suck" and "sucks" were censored more. Really, America, what was wrong with "stinks"? Does it significantly change the tone, intent, or even severity?

Heavy sigh.

Maybe because Zip Lock is a brand name? ------------------------------- Happy Trading!

Two words. Urban Dictionary. ------------------------------- I'm going to reevaluate how I collect after the new year. It's just getting way too expensive for the new stuff. Sometimes I just want to buy a pack, not a whole box or even blaster.
