Give me a break... Are you sure you don't mean "fowl" last name? Suppose
members of a folklore chatroom decided to discuss the poem "Who Killed Cock
Robin?" -- would the censorware block *that*? This is getting like the
Victorians putting pantaloons on overly-suggestive table legs and Mother
Hubbards on classical sculpture!
Or is this perhaps a Martian fire drill aimed at diverting attention from
*other*, more serious invasions of online privacy?
Inquiring minds want to know...

DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER
==========
CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list. Proselytizing propagandic
screeds are unwelcomed. Substance�not soap-boxing�please! These are
sordid matters and 'conspiracy theory'�with its many half-truths, mis-
directions and outright frauds�is used politically by different groups with
major and minor effects spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought.
That being said, CTRLgives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and
always suggests to readers; be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no
credence to Holocaust denial and nazi's need not apply.
Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
