It's also curious that a search for "murfl" turns up nothing.

It seems to me the message remains the same on the NNTP server, and more
importantly the search index, so searching for any word in the original post
will retrieve it. In fact, searching for one of the known "questionable" words
in the post reveals there is at least one more post that has been murfled.

Which also brings up the point that it appears people browsing Lugnet via
newsreader or email subscription are currently not "protected" by murflement.
(Newsreader definitely, unable to check email subscription.) Hmmm.

The way Lugnet is built, any changes like murlfing or editting of one's post and
including FTX format, won't work in NNTP.  Back when I'd chat with Todd often,
I'd give him ideas on improvements to Lugnet's software, and many of those ideas
weren't possible because of incompatability with NNTP.

Hope that helps bring some clarity to the issue.
