I'll take the benign view that you misunderstood what I said, and that
you are not deliberately distorting my views.  I never said that CPL
uses filters.  I said that Marilyn Gell Mason was a "voice of dissent
from ALA doctrine" on the filtering issue.  Read the June/July 1997
American Libraries article on page 104 "Sex, Kids, and the Public
Library" by Ms. Mason for clarification on her position.
