I recieved this e-mail today, with subject title "MESSAGE CENSORED BY YAHOO": This email has been scanned and found to have had to following primary keywords: Conspiracy Bomb Fake Demolition Experts This email has been scanned and found to have had to following secondary keywords: Bin Laden World Trade Center Oklahoma City Anthrax Iraq Oil Ricin Cruise Missile Due to recent legislation passed in Congress regarding internet usage, this message has been censored. Yahoo has been advised to inform you that persistent abuse of US internet services can result in a fine and/or a jail sentence. -Somehow i'd never envisioned talking about oil an abuse of us internet services ond thus an imprisonable offence?!?!?! AAAGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
