In your article you suggested that the BBS software scan
the incoming text for forbidded items, such as profanity.
That assumes a sophistication on the part of the computer
systems that just is not available to the normal BBS
operator.  Remember, that the majority of these systems
are bought, run, and operated as a hobby, and do not
have the resources of a large computer science department
behind them.  Many, by design, are very simple in concept 
and operation.

It would be a pity if a lot of the current BBS's were 
forced off the "air" because they didn't have the ability
to install an IBM 360.

Also, I would like to see the Parcer that could tell the
difference between the proper and improper posting of
a telephone number.
