I guess I should tell you my innocent experience searching for
information about the unabomber.  I had forgotten that one of the
extensive articles had been published by Penthouse.  So when I searched
on the term "Unabomber" I got a link which would have led me to the
homepage of Penthouse magazine except that I am not too interested in
seeing their homepage, so I avoided it.  Well, anyway, the experience
taught me that even the most innocent search CAN lead to something
potentially offensive so we need to be aware that a child or other
novice can ACCIDENTALLY find stuff they never intended to see.
