Could we end this filtering/porn discussion, please?

[Pabbathy, Jacob]

I agree. I am a newwbee here as well and all I had been doing the last 
couple of days is to hit the "d" button, whenever I get mail on this 
topic. This is not to undermine the importance of the topic but the 
primary technical web issues are being sidelined over a 
moral/legal/ethical issue.

Folks-- I am getting really, _really_ tired of this discussion about
filtering, porn, & whether a library should "allow porn" or not. I may 
be
a humble mostly-lurker, but I'm now simply hitting the "d" almost 
every
time I see "Web4Lib." Is it possible that Mr. Burt, Mr. Young, & the
others who are going on and on could discuss these things privately 
and
let the rest of us talk about dealing with primarily technical Web 
issues?
Thanks. --W
