I completely agree. I also have similar thoughts on filtering. While I don't think you should have the internet wide open for youth, I also believe that you will hinder them by protecting them from everything. If they have not built up the strength to avoid bad things and manage their activities on their own then they will be doomed the second they use any other computer outside your home (which will be often). /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
