In 2000, CNET News reported that AOL's "youth filters" were preventing young surfers from accessing liberal websites; "your children can easily view the site of the Republican National Committee," Brian Livingston reported at the time, "but the Democratic National Committee is blocked."

At least there is a silver cloud in every lining or something like that!

Actually, AOL is not someone I would do business with. Their parent company Time Warner is on my boycott list. Censoring everyone's email seems like a Marxist thing to do, so I am not surprised.

BTW; Is your screenname related to the EastEnders?

I'm torn between thinking that e-mail ought to have the same legal protections as snail-mail, and thinking that the government should keep its grubby little hands off of the internet.

Now that I'm middle-aged, I don't care how big they are. I won't ask you any questions about them at all. I'm just as interested as before, but more circumspect. But you have got me wondering...
