Hello All,
I have been a lurker on this list for quite a while. I feel compelled to
make a response now...to offer support for Darby and to express my
appreciation for the thoughtful comments of Gisele and Darby in response to
a legitimately challenging question by Maureen. Good librarianship
But it is. Besides, we don't even know what the film is!

Please do not take my comments personally. I am truly sorry if I offended

I have purchased porn in response to instructional requests (most of

even repaired a pornographic VHS tape for an instructor.
Much like racist cartoons, Nazi propaganda
As usual, videolib provides a lively forum for discussion, and this one in
particular is fascinating. But I must say, I'm quite disturbed by the
vitriolic tone of some of the responses as well as the judging and the public
