I think this filter is poorly thought out, Steve.  What if I want to run
some T*E*S*T*S between two antennas, distribute some T*E*S*T results, ask
for help preparing for the annual Simulated Emergency T*E*S*T or simply ask
how to T*E*S*T a given hypothesis?

Nice idea, Steve, but I don't think we can consider the word T*E*S*T to be
a universal evil or prima facia evidence of worthless content.

73, Dick
