Probably because that word is attached to a LOT of spam on the internet.  Filters do keep a lot of the junk out; they also kind of restrict other versions.  No big deal really.

Colin,

Me and my best biking buddy, Nancy, are meeting at Boyette tomorrow at 9.  I'm the weeniest rider around, so we don't do any tough stuff.  Nancy knows the park very well and has a handy dandy cloth map of the trails (which can double as a handkerchief) so we won't get lost.  You're welcome to join us.

I will be out there Sunday morning for a slow ride with some decent mileage. I will ride everything but take it slow if you are interested......
