I don't see that Milos' proposal will be any more of a circus than any
other proposed filtering plan (except "switch all images on/off") and
it has the advantage of keeping the circus somewhere general users of
the site don't need to be bothered. And if they actually square the
circle and come up with something that doesn't fundamentally violate
neutrality, then win.
