Dear subscribers,

It has come to my attention that some of your service providers may
reject messages with particularly racy content or various keywords. In
order to facilitate the pen*e*tra*tion of such messages in to everyone's
in-boxes, I would suggest breaking up such possibly offending words or
thoughts, as our favorite spam-mongers have taught us to do. Or you
may, as Nabokov himself so often did, rely upon concealed euphemism and
innuendo.
See, see often, Eric Naiman's new article, recently announced on this
list, which contains much, much more than a discussion of dirty words. -SB
