Dear Folks at eBay,
I typed in "Thank you for the Canon Unit-Y Flash! It arrived safely in today's mail!" in the Feedback Window and tried to submit it. Weirdly the message would not post and a red warning popped up below the window telling me that eBay does not permit profanity. There's not a single profane word in my positive feedback to the seller. I switched it to "Thank you for the Canon Flash Unit-Y! It arrived safely in today's mail!" and it went through without incident. Just thought you should know that your Profanity Checker is not working properly. It is a little disconcerting being told that you're acting in a profane manner when you're trying to thank your seller for a positive experience. I hope this helps you fix your keyword search/algorithm. Thanks as always for continuing to be a great place to acquire hard to find items!

The profanity checker is working just fine. It doesn't just look at individual words; it looks for letter combinations across words:
Canon Unit-Y Fla[sh! It] arrived
So yes, your message does need a response. BTW, it's unlikely that eBay will ever see it.
