in reply to Regex solution needed

It pains me to see that our beloved Perl is abused for censorship (and then even censorship of the most silly and hypocritical kind). Fortunately, regex solutions for this kind of "problem" never work and after a lot of time and effort spent, the whole idea is scrapped (as it should have been from the very beginning).
