Stations don't usually need to do that here -- they let you hear everything. If you say something on TV that can be used against you in court, that's basically your own business. No reason to beep, since such things are usually relevant by their meaning, not by their register. Pictures are different: stations may not show everything, so sometimes you see black bars. **Henrik
