These features have changed. " Poll Manager( Total Polls: 0) Add this thread to my Watched Topics. Add my signature to this post. " "HTML is enabled. UBBCode is enabled.... "---not really. That's why I can't read your post well , Jackie.  What's with this Post Poll Manager? This world is managed, advised and polled to pieces. What's going on? Are the targets not hit? ( well, maybe it's the weather) Oh, sorry, there still is THE LINK.

Wiktionary says:
"1. Edited or censored.
The government released the redacted document, but most of it was blacked out as secret."
Also at Searchcio,
http://searchcio.techtarget.com/sDefinition/0,,sid182_gci1029839,00.html we have
" - To redact is to edit, or prepare for publishing. Frequently, a redacted document, such as a memo or e-mail message, has simply had personal (or possibly actionable) information deleted or blacked out; as a consequence, redacted is often used to describe documents from which sensitive information has been expunged"

I wonder if this isn't just another example of an existing word taking on new meanings until ultimately you'll be able to write anything at all with a series of words chosen at random, the recipient of which will read into it anything he wishes http://wordsmith.org/board/ubbthreads.php/topics/187677/2So olly grit your teeth, bear up, and just drive on
