You reach a point of diminishing returns. Hello, Before *this* thread spins out of control, I would like to draw your attention to NANOG-L AUP, available at http://www.nanog.org/aup.html , particularly #6: Postings of political, philosophical, and legal nature are discouraged. In other words, it is on-topic to discuss operational effect of filtering - what the original post started with. It is on-topic to discuss how to filter and comply with government or corporate mandates to filter. It is on-topic to discuss existing logging/filtering solutions and their operational impact. It is "not so much" on topic to discuss legalities of filtering, but I think most agree that it still belongs here. It is clearly off-topic to discuss lists of british colonies, or civil liberties or protection of children - there are better forums to do this. Please follow any replies to this message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -alex (acting mlc chair)
