    Gigs - okay this is one of the easier ones.

    I have often felt that there should be some sort of forum dictionary for new members, a bit like the Viz profanisaurus.

    I just pasted a naughty word list here and hit preview. List looked a bit boring. Mostly just asterisks. I'd create a reverse naughty word list if I knew how to compare two columns in Open Office and filter/delete/include matching or non-matching field columns.
