alt.sex.emacs is not a real group either, so there is no "accuracy" to
reduce. Both groups are made up.

Installing the proposed patch has absolutely nothing to do with
censorship, of course. I don't see how anyone could think that it does.
I suggest removing a couple of words because the jokes are not that
funny, somewhat childish, and arguably distracting to some readers.
Furthermore, of course it will "work". I install patches in emacs.git
every day, as do you. But of course we can't change Usenet. Comparing
Usenet to our git repository is a category error.

There is no disagreement about this.
