All the items in question now come up "No longer available". I doubt they gave
a [EMAIL PROTECTED] about whether they "offended" anyone. And in a manner of
speaking, neither do I; freedom of speech, per se, is a two-edged sword. But
the messages in question make reference to violent criminal acts, which doesn't
fall under protected speech, and I'm sure they were primarily covering their
legal hineys (sp?) by removing them.
