Well, I hope no one gets mad at me, but this is the true reason I posted this. I used to post on another forum that automatically censored words. Once I posted something about "A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens. When I went to read my post, it spelled it "Charles D*ckens." I thought that was kind of humorous. So, I've noticed some censored words here, and just wanted to test it out to see if it did the same thing here. I guess not.

Happened to me once when I posted something about the Advanced SubStation subtitling format, which comes in .*** files :p

I love them too, but they're not really 'classic writers', though they have written classics in the sense of works which are part of the Western literary canon.

Anyway, nitpicking :P My favorites are Tess, Great Expectations and Bleak House (check out the wonderful BBC adaptation of this one if you ever have the opportunity).
