No, I'm saying that most of our users are either too honest, or to stupid

I agree with the "unprofessionalism" comment wholeheartedly. But just
because you may or may not like to view porn at some time doesn't mean that
those of us who do not are puritanical or up-tight. Maybe we just don't

Or by morals, decency and respect...:-)
