The first problem with CyberSitter and NetNanny is that they rely on having an accurate database. Second, you actually have to buy and download them. Netscape, however, could easily write a password protected on/off switch for .sex Then the government says to the industry, "You comply with .sex, we'll leave you alone to do your business." The only anomaly would be renegades who go by an IP address instead of a name. Directly typing an IP address would circumvent .sex, but I think you would narrow your field of offenders by 90%. A CyberSitter filter solution would, theoretically, get the rest of these with greater accuracy. Naturally, having just released my whole plan on the net, I'm sure somebody will steal it. But I wouldn't know how to make money with it anyway so I'll leave it up to somebody who can. Maybe they'll be kind enough to buy me a beer&#151which is all I really want out of life anyway. <g> -MrB
