Given the state of the code when it was released, I can't really say I blame the developers for thinking 'screw this'.

Check out the comments they had to delete before releasing the code : http://www.jwz.org/doc/censorzilla.html .




I find it a little disturbing that "hack" was one of the censor words, especially since it has a very specific meaning when appearing in source code (and many commenting tools even do special processing when it sees this word.)
