Just a quickie to record for eternal posterity (ooer) Steve’s little bit of fame 🙂 Silicon.com IR35 Article Matt.

In response to our note about Comet Cursor and Spyware we received an email from Serenity suggesting a site that can help remove it from your system. The URL is: http://www.lavasoft.de/. I haven’t investigated it yet so you’re on your own but I thought it would be helpful to pass it on – thanks to…

TalkBack Article #1, on the topic of Internet Advertising is now online. The link to it is on the front page – have a read and let us know what you think (the email address is [email protected]). This is the first article and so all constructive criticism gratefully accepted to help us ensure that TalkBack…

OK, discussion closed. I was prepared to listen to people. I was prepared to treat everyone as adult. What a mistake. I’m bitterly disappointed that people can support us to our faces and then diss us when it suits by leaving comments in other people’s diaries. If you’re so two faced that you can do…

A few comments back to Sobriquet’s questions and comments: is using swear words a marker of an adult text? how explicit in detail will you have to go (in terms of sexual content) in order to be deemed ‘adult’? what is the criteria here? ..and then there is the censorship issue. We don’t have one…

Next, LisaMarie passed us a link to an article she found on Wired, Age Verification – it contains details that even I wasn’t fully aware of. Rather than my rabbitting on, i’ll let you draw your own conclusions, I just thought it would be an…

If credit card charges are not sufficient proof, as we’ve heard from one ‘knowledgeable’ person – then our only POSSIBLE alternative is to ban erotica of any form from appearing in diaries. There IS no other alternative because we cannot be sure that over 16’s (actually you DONT need to be over 18 to buy…

Hey all, Matt here 🙂 I just got back from the theater with my wife and my mailbox is flooded with the fun Steve has been having, so I thought i’d toss my quart of petrol onto the fire 🙂 What is Adult Material? This question cannot be answered black and white. I’ve tried to…

We received this from one of our ad providers today – I won’t name them because I haven’t been given permission to copy the mail even and I cut out any identifying bits. I’d like to thank them for taking the time to investigate and to actually write a personal note back to us. We…
