Question:
Whats up with the posts that show stars (***)?

Answers:
because of the program that yahoo uses to edit out "bad" words. a computer does not understand the context or way a word is used, all the computer recognizes is that that string of letters/symbols is not allowed and therefore bleeps them out or turns them to ****. its the same as using censors on television except that the editing on TV is done by ppl so they can understand the difference in the context of the word like using the B word to refer to a dog is OK but using it to refer to a person is not, well the person editing understands that and can choose when to edit it out and when to leave it alone a computer can not differentiate there for just bleeps out any time the letters that make up that word are place together in a string. hope this helps
