On the occasion I mentioned above, I provided a link along with a
nudity warning. That didn't stop the censors. I think the combination
of an allusion to a biblical story and a female nude was just more than
some members could handle. The nudity was quite mild by the way. That's
not to say that no one should ever reference a nude photo here, or that
there will be an outcry if they do. Bob's nude was barely mentioned (no
pun intended:-). But be forewarned. You can't be sure that provocative
presentations will be greeted warmly.

Well, this is also an international list, so if such things bother
you then don´t look at PESO´s or PAW´s at work.
Nudity isn´t very controversial around here, so I don´t like the US
puritan rules being spread to the rest of us .-)
As you point out, this is an international list. Perhaps if you are
going to be on it, you should learn to repect the wishes of people
who are living in cultures with different rules than your own.

Perhaps the best solution is to simply mention that a link leads to an
image with nudity? That lets the list member make an informed decision
to view or not view. I wouldn't call that censorship, just courtesy.
For what it's worth, I have no problem with images of nudes, whether
announced or not, but I know that some other people do.
As for not wanting to get in trouble at work, why are you reading a
recreational mailing list anyway, when you could actually be working
on something more productive? :)
take care,
Glen
