Apparently Bruce's link has slashdotted their server. ;-p

The connection has timed out
The server at onefte.com is taking too long to respond.

Title: We are not bad people.
Scene: Office.
1. You security guys need to go a little easier on the filtering thing.
2. Protecting our people from offensive material is a job we take very seriously.
1. I know. I typed abreast in an email and got three calls from HR.
2. Maybe you should leave that stuff for when you’re not at work.
Caption: The line between managing risk and irrational restraint is a thin one.

If you are introducing a Bill discussing internet censorship it's a good idea to disable your own email filtering software while discussing it!

My wife is organizing a fundraiser to support healthcare for women's cancer issues. She couldn't figure out why some folks weren't responding to her e-mails.... (Hint: ``breast cancer'' includes the word ``breast''. Can't have that! :-/)

Terry - years and years ago, either Prodigy or AOL had a similar problem. I seem to remember a hubbub due to the "hooter cancer" discussion group.
