The ultimate solution has already been discussed and that is to
upgrade the Forum software to a version that can 'learn' URL useage
and automatically delete/block offensive materials so they never
appear.  However, that 'horse' has been beaten/flogged/whipped/stomped
"to death".  There is no available software that will allow
maintaining the current mailing list <-> forum bridge (which in itself
is not a bad thing.)
