There is now an automatic censoring process for Nabble posts that resemble the signatures of prior spambot attacks on Rhelp. It was known that some innocent posts would be affected, including, unfortunately, some of the posts from our most valued members if they happen to be posting from Nabble at the time.  This eventuality was noted when those filters were installed. In this case Frank saw it on Nabble and gave a perfectly valid reply that was not censored.

I probably should have said: "Think the _curse_ of Nabble!"

Hey, that might make a great movie title: "The Curse of Nabble".
Starring, of course, Peter Lorre, Christopher Lee and Boris Karloff,
each of whom has at least one 'r' in his name.
