Ed,

Its funny that you say that.  I went to DNB's website with no problems.  My
company uses the same Websense software.

I know some people at DNB and have explained to them the problem.  In the
mean time here is the link if you want to try again.

Hi Listmembers:


I want to call to everyone's attention an interesting problem with using the
net.

I was just doing a search for "EMC Test Labs", and had been visiting a
number of the web sites. However, when I tried to access the site for "DNB
Engineering", I was blocked by my Cubic porn filtering software (Websense).
Apparently DNB uses the word "gambling" on their site, and this word
triggers the censor in Websense.

This is a case of a company (apologies to DNB) accidentally self-limiting
their web site access through use of language which is taken out-of-context
by "nanny" software.

Many of us are attempting to create business exposure for our endeavors.
This is an example of why we need to carefully consider all site keywords
and every bit of text on our web pages.

Regards,


Ed
