I think it would be a good idea to share information, to make our blacklists available to others. > Why can't we co-operate and produce a set of *whitelists* > such that > pass whitelists none > becomes more useful than > pass !this !that !theother all I don't think I can agree with a whitelist. It has been my personal experience that every time I research something on the net I find new sites with excellent information. Many times I'll find the best information on my current research topic is on a site I've never visited before. I'd hate to think that I'd be blocked from the best information unless someone else in our group had looked up the same topic *since* this web site was in operation. To me, that would almost be like trading in the internet for an encyclopedia. But I am all for sharing what we have.
