   Has the rest of the post been redacted in the interests of national security?

   Since when has redaction equalled censorship?

   In the study of literature, redaction is a form of editing in which multiple source texts are combined (redacted) and subjected to minor alteration to make them into a single work. Often this is a method of collecting a series of writings on a similar theme and creating a definitive and coherent work.

   Nabakov, It's been redacted because of the marvellous new edition of Wordpress which removes the code you paste when you try to host videos.

   Gee Doug, when you were cutting and pasting your second para from wikipedia, did you bother to click through to here? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redact and then to here? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanitization_(classified_information)

   Nick, your Robert Ryman tribute is getting almost as many comments as the wet T-shirt. Maybe you really have stumbled onto a formula for popularity at last.
