Look kid, i've addressed what you have been crying about. I have answered your questions. Why won't you answer mine? Did you go back and change one of your posts after I had already made my reply to it?

Thomas A Watson, you are right about being misquoted. You did not mention that the restricted areas would be for viewing of porn only. I, for one, am not a closet pervert. I intend to launch one of the most demented and perverted websites ever, with one of my nieces as a moderator and regular contributor. OTOH, I do not visit what I would call porno websites. Even now, many people think they have more privacy than they do. Although I do not visit porno sites, my history log is loaded with them because my brother and his son visit them when they use my computer. I for one would welcome an obvious identification of when my activities were being spied upon. Who knows, I might start visiting porno sites, but only from public computers that are clearly identified as being monitored. It is the secret spying on my activities that I would object to. One other thing. When I was 11 years old, a man approached me, showed me his porn, and offered me money for sex. I told my father about this, and my father responded by sharing his adult magazine collection with me. After that, my father had me pick up his adult magazines for him, with the proprietors of the stores being informed by him that he wanted me to do this. If libraries are going to restrict the access of minors, parents should be able to overrule this restriction.
