Rejection

[Tony Irwin]

I regularly have problems with accessing sites and receiving mails at work
because of blocked words. If I need to find out anything about Lesser
Earwigs or a large long-haired cat breed from Maine, I give up and research
it at home!
A couple of years back, in an effort to get the blocking lifted, I
discovered that I could access (carefully worded) sites propounding the
racist views of several neo-Nazi groups, and pointed out this anomaly to the
IT administrators, but they weren't impressed. They offered to lift the ban
on specific words if I could give them a few days notice, and got a form
signed by my line manager. (Here in Britain we have what is termed a "nanny
state". I feel like a very naughty child sometimes!)

The message appended below was posted on another server by a friend in
Brasil.  His email message was blocked by a server for "reason" stated
below.  The offending word was part of the binominal Fissurella nigra
(Lesson, 1831).

Has anyone else had a similar experience?
