Spammed

A reader writes:

When naughty-word filters were first put into use, they were not particularly sophisticated and as a result I found myself most cruelly treated.  My last name is "Dick", and for a few months couldn’t send any email at all.  Still my wife’s email client marks almost every email with little chili peppers to indicate spicy language when clearly there is none.
I’ve even been refused logins on newspaper sites from time to time based on my name.
Apropos of nothing other than the stmvirgin.com story.

And, yes, he’s not making it up. His name was in the email address.
