[Linux4christians] Foobar on My Part

[Howard Coles Jr.]

Well, it appears that you really SHOULD lock your machine down when you walk 
away.

Several of us were talking about the foul words in OOo, and I was rather 
disturbed because I know of some schools, and churches who will not be able 
to use this as long as it presents these words like that.

Well, I did post the original message thinking of pressuring them to change 
the way they offered the spelling words so those didn't come up, but that was 
about it.  After that I didn't get anything, and my Linux4Christians folder 
was deleted.  I'm not sure what all was sent, or what the list received, so 
please accept my apologies.  Ultimately it was my fault, knowing the 
pranksters that I work with I should have known better.

I DO believe that the spell checkers should be changed for the sake of those 
who will be restricted in implementing OpenSource software.  Regardless of 
what our stand may be God does call us to bear the infirmities of the week, 
and restrict our freedom for the sake of others Conscience.  And, even from a 
worldly perspective, if we limit the ability of some to use the software or 
we not being just as hard headed as proprietary software makers?  
I did further testing in Word and discovered that if you type out the foul 
word it will not mark it as misspelled, which means it knows of the foul 
word, but it wont give that as an alternative to another misspelled word, and 
that would be good enough for me.

However, from what Don was telling me in private some of my responses were 
rather excessive.
