Joe, if you're so worried about it, why don't you go through csa2, and
all the posts that you find readable for the kids, send to the teacher.

Uh, Joe, I'm sure you know the definition of cencorship. That's exactly
what you'd be doing. No thanks, I think I'll pass.

Personally, <imho>, I laugh at the idea of this newsfeed being moderated
by anyone. It gets a lot of traffic. I'd hate to have to go through 
the 70 posts/day. (that's not an official stat, but I'd bet its close)
