Can you give a poor isolated provincial Yank a hint?  Perhaps a URL
that would help me root out what you're talking about?

Much though I flinch at some of Phil's content (but where's Dubbo
when he's really needed?), I am more upset that the ignorant
masses, promoters of V-chips, Palladium Chips, censorers of
Super Bowl entertainment, etc., should interfere with his opportunity
to have a platform.  And his style, while perhaps unnecessary, is a
thin veneer over valuable content.  I can take Phil c*m grano salis.
(But I was tempted.  Only it's too much a pain in the *rse to
resubscribe with a different address.  And it would bug D.
unnecessarily.)
