Long time no post. I’ve been a bit busy personally since my wife and I welcomed twins into the world! Needless to say, I haven’t had much free time to comment here.
Anyway, I found political-correctness run amok again. I happen to have a university email address. The email administrators chose to use Mirapoint for its web email solution. Here’s a portion of the university’s recent communication to all web email users, explaining that they will be changing the algorithm for determining junk mail:
“The Mirapoint software is distributed using “White List” and “Black List,” terms frequently used in the software industry for “pre-approved” and “blocked” addresses. Mirapoint, the product vendor, has acknowledged our request to replace these with color neutral terms in a future release.“
Does anyone really find these terms offensive?
