Actually, the FCC does not define foul language in the fashion
you indicate, not in over 20 years. And it does allow the broadcasting
of ALL the words on Carlin's "list" under certain circumstances. (This
from my having worked for 5 years at a Pacificia radio station, which
kept us apprised of such rules.) They don't tell you any longer what
words not to say...they just wait until an accumulation hits. And
there is the 12:00 midnighr rule, which allows virtually everything and
anything to be said, as was the rule at many Pacifica stations.

So, basically, it should be okay to read messages here with
language in them after midnight....
