new topic - library filtering software

**"swren1" s*@msn.com**

(a new topic, to get us off the hockey/plants debate before it gets out of
hand)

The government is forcing libraries that receive federal funding to install
filtering software on their computers, to keep kids away from porn.  Now,
that's all well and good, but the problem is the keywords they use.  Want a
recipe for cooking a chicken breast?  Can't get it on a library PC.  Kids
can't access their high school web pages because they contain the word
"high".

Think this will have an impact on the gardening world?  I'm thinking that
any site that mentions "sex", referring to plant sex, would be blocked.
People couldn't do a Google search for Tom Ogren's "Safe Sex In The Garden".
