It seems to have been missed by many that the point is not
whether the picture is "pornographic" or
whether someone is offended or
whether someone is prudish or
whether someone clicked on a link that was advertised as being "R" rated
etc.
To me, the point is that someone made a posting on this reflector that was
*advertised* as being (and indeed was) R-rated.
If I post links to really hard-core sites, is that okay as long as I "warn"
you?
Where do we draw the line?
Yes, the picture was "cute" and creative.
Appropriate? No.
Let's stick to real antenna stuff and save the cutesy things for those we
know well.

Subject: Re: [TowerTalk] Look at his response
Perhaps because someone, unthinkingly, provided it in the first place?
Here's a novel suggestion - let's let the moderator determine if links to
"R-rated" sites are permissible on his reflector. Steve, what say you?
