What's the difference. I had a post that was bounced due to the heading "AOL from Hell." Wonder why?
Was mot objectionable or vulgar. Just a common phrase:
"A problem from Hell." Is that OK?
Can I use Heaven? What about "Hell bent for leather?"
Hells Bells? Hell, I really do not really know any more.
Very common phrases and not objectionable to anyone.
I really don't care one way or the other what anyone says on the internet. Just don't call me late for lunch!

How to disable the profanity filter?

When you try to type "curly quotes" in the Downloads site (on posting a review), the website converts them to "straight quotes". What is this failure on the site? And you have also posted inappropriate comments in TruVoice...
