further to your observations, there are legit adult publishers in the database, by legit I mean bloggers who regularly publish salient blogs.
for example: http://solomonsrefuge.com/wp http://www.sxxxy.org/ http://www.wordoyster.com/weblog/ and then there are the marketeers: http://www.aztrx.com/blogs/Aztrx-Links-Blog.php I think the smut peddlers are actually in the minority. As a funny aside, my search engine works with categories, the dmoz ones to be exact, and Adult is the first category as it is alphabetised. So of course you get the smut first on every search. I intend on doing something about this but I haven't had the time. As I am in europe I reserve the right to take a more liberal attitude. Also about marketeers there are loads of alibaba's and discountwatcher's feeds, maybe even thousands, they do publish content, but it is mostly product desc + price. Are there any plans for a special category for such feeds? take care kent --- Stuart Whitmore <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > A couple observations: First, I've seen > adult-related RSS feeds in > the Syndic8 database.
