Michael, Heard of the Communications Decency Act? It was thrown out by the US Supreme Court as too broad. Stick is yelping about a dead 1996 issue. It's come and gone.

>>I think the issue on the pornography is that we are likely >>to start seeing some regulation regarding the internet. Umm, I think you ought to read up on the Communications Decency Act, and the Supreme Court decision that threw out its anti-pornography provisions on First Amendment grounds, saying, in brief, that content available to adults and children on the net cannot be restricted so that it is suitable for children. Doing so violated the rights of the adults. Some of the Justices remarked that parents bore prime responsibility in this matter, and evidence was entered that a number of software "filters" could be used to limit access of children to pornography. Congress passed the law, Clinton signed it, but it's no longer law. End of story. David
