This is not germaine to this issue, but I have been having problems accessing FreeRepublic where I didn't have a problem before. There seems to be a "blocking" device that will not allow me access which states "due to unsuitable content, website access is not available." I can sometimes work around on Yahoo to access FreeRepublic, but most of the time I cannot. Have tried going through Internet Options on Tools, but nothing irregular pops up. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. (Have deleted temporary files on Internet but that didn't seem to make any difference).
The "unsuitable content" line raises a big red flag. From where are you trying to access FR where you see this? If its at work or at school, it could be your work or your school doing the blocking. If you're seeing it at home, contact your ISP and find out if they have some sort of content blocking on your account.
I don't CARE what the Germans think!
