Sorry for the bad language in this post. I just want to ****ing test something.
I was very impressed by Alexander's review of plucker vs isilo, but was totally distracted and frustrated for the first 10 minutes trying to work out what the **** the word p****r was meant to be.
At first I thought it was plucker as in python plucker. But it didn't make any bloody sense. I thought maybe it was some proprietary term so he couldn't use it. It looked more likely to be p****r but then why the *s.

Then I worked it out, it is p****r but the word **** is blanked out.
Actually I'm not sure how much of this ****ing post is going to be asterisked out by some ****head censorship system. (Once again I apologize for my foul ****ing **** of a gutter mouth - all in the interest of testing).
So let me restate: I think it must be the word P-A-R-S-E-R with the word A-R-S-E automatically censored out.

Great, here's a whole forum about parsing web pages for reading on the palm and we can't say p****r.
I mean, I fully appreciate that the offensive bloody bastards of ****ing buggery swear words I have been using deserve to be censored. But P-A-R-S-E-R?! Please.
****holes
Assholes
****heads

Once again, terriby, terribly sorry to anyone offended by anything that managed to slip through the asterisk-nazi algorithm.
