Why don't they just block the whole word "iPhone?" Wouldn't that be easier?

No matter where the letter “i” appears in a word or sentence, it gets replaced with “..”.  The only place where an “i” can be used is in the title of a post.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://mashable.com/2007/07/20/myspace-blocks-the-letter-i/"><P>MySpace users, of course, have been trying to complain about it on their blogs, with the obvious limitation that they can’t actually mention the blocked letter in their complaints.
