Isn't it interesting that AOL defends someone against receiving "...complaints from AOL's member base" when that individual sees nothing wrong with posting R-rated links on Tower talk?

You, kind sir, have missed then entire point of the Tower Talk reflector. Providing links to R (some would say X) rated sites is not the purpose of the reflector. Interestingly, I would opine that you and others seem to need to "take a breath/get a life/...ad nasueum with the colloquiliasms", given the multitude of replies to the effect that nothing was done wrong. Perhaps some people's standards are a tad higher than others. There is a time and place, my friend....this ain't it.

Excuse me, but since when is it OK to post R-rated stuff (even a link) on
this reflector?
I'll pass on the personal insults.

Joe, Bill didn't post anything R rated, only a link which he said was R rated. No photo was posted.

Time to take a deep breath.
