I did mention that specifically (it's no secret that Jay & Slim are probably
the biggest 'targets' over on WR), but I don't want to escalate this snippy
little and useless exchange between myself and Jay. I agree with Sheldon,
David, and others that an iron-clad approach is pointless, and will only
draw ever-more attention to whatever it is you wish to suppress. When your
mother, growing up, told you to not look at something, what was the first
thing that you wanted to do? Human nature alone makes an all-or-nothing
implementation ultimately more trouble than it will ever be worth. The
moment someone edit wars over a link being included, or whether or not it is
or isn't an attack site, will require everyone review the link to support
one side or the other.

Sorry if I annoyed anyone; my spin-control detect-o-meter went through the
roof yesterday and I should have just let it slide.

Regards,
Joe
