in the world (I think), or at least in the US. There could be hundreds of
messages a day and we would occasionally get obscene ones like the Iris-l
got the other day. Even, the Episcopicalian list has gotten them. They

it must give them. "O brave new world that has such people in it!"
What is particularly disturbing and embarrassing is to encounter
this garbage when helping a library patron search the net.
