True, but that's no reason to sidestep the issue.

Whitelisting is a major PITA. As for monitoring children, we attempt to do so, but there are limits. Especially when your child has been brought up computer literate and navigates a software menu more easily than a restaurant menu. When kids are experimenting with software and programming the last thing they want to do is have to call for mum every time they need administrator access. As a writer, I'm all for categorization and rating. It helps both writers and readers. The writer can be creative and explore all aspects of human relationships if they so wish, and the reader can choose what they read based on the rating. There's no nasty surprises. cheers Helen -- IRC: helen_au [email protected] helensouth.com _______________________________________________ xdg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xdg
