Dear LM_Netters,

Here is the response that I received from GoTo.com regarding the
offensive site listed under "beanie babies":

Dear Josephine,

We appreciate your bringing your experience to our attention.  We are
aware of that particular site and are actively working to bring about a
change in that situation.

We are working night and day at GoTo.com to implement our adult content
filtration system.  Since there is a *ton* of porn on the web and much
of it is categorized under non-porn terms, we are building features to
help users protect themselves and their children from being exposed to
it.  We expect to have our filter in place within the next sixty days.

Sincerely,

Jon Batson :: sales@goto.com
