Narelle,

Yes AOL did ban the use of the word breast.  It only lasted a day because they
got immediate complaints from the Breast Cancer Survivors.  The one good quote I
heard was that one of the women asked AOL what were they supposed to call
themselves, "Hooters Cancer Survivors!?"  So AOL quickly reversed it's decision
and decided that any word that would be used in medical terminology was be okay
to post.  But it still didn't fix the ill will that they generated over this
decision.  I have heard of many people cancelling their AOL and going to another
server.
