Update - 4/4 -Taking aim at filters

[Art Wolinsky <awolinsky@OII.ORG>]

Hi Gang,

Today's update is short even though there were more reports than on
previous days.  That's because I'm getting ready to move this out to other
lists even before our 7 day experiment is completed.  I'm build a web site
to go along with the report page you have been using.  When the page is
announced the reporting page will be relocated to
http://oii.org/html/overblocking.html  , but don't worry if you have the
old page bookmarked.  It will still work.  You can get an advanced look at
the site by going to http://oii.org/html/filtering.html  and check out my
idea of what the fly swatter would look like if it had been invented by a
filtering company. http://oii.org/html/fsmanual.html

Today's gems:

K.G. made a report that I just had to turn into a mock headline:
Friendly Filter Blocks Bible for Hate Messages

I asked you to be creative about your nicknames and this takes the prize so
far.
Chubby McReference reports that the Smartstuff.....Safeserver blocked her
when she was attempting to get a few Weight Watcher recipes for dinner at
http://www.angelfire.com/journal/wwrecipes/index.html.  The reason the
filter gave was Pornography.

Hey to me that's understandable.  We should all know how sensuous food can
be. Didn't you watch Tom Jones?  (The movie, not the singer.)

Take care,
Art
