Alan,
I recommend reading my post again. Censor and monitor are two
different words.
>From dictionary.com:
cen7sor Pronunciation Key (snsr) n.
1. A person authorized to examine books, films, or other material
and to remove or suppress what is considered morally,
politically, or otherwise objectionable.
2. An official, as in the armed forces, who examines personal
mail and official dispatches to remove information considered
secret or a risk to security.
3. One that condemns or censures.
4. One of two officials in ancient Rome responsible for taking
the public census and supervising public behavior and morals.
5. Psychology. The agent in the unconscious that is responsible
for censorship.

7. Biology. Any of various tropical carnivorous lizards of the
family Varanidae, living in the East Indies, southern Asia,
Africa, Australia, and New Guinea and ranging in length from

The key phrase to my post was:
> Major corporations do it, Porsche, Snapple to name a few. They
> will delete almost all the comments, but will correct
> misinformation or comments damaging to the company. It is now
> common practice that mid to large size companies do this.
I recommend you monitor my post a little better. :^)
