So to paraphrase you... every admin has a differing set of requirements. THATS MY POINT!!!!
And since we pay $200/Gb for traffic it IS my problem to decide what they see. (New Zealand is in the back of beyond with regard to internet connections - we lack the competition required to make it as cheap as continental or american sources.) I still think a collective effort to produce a whitelist would have a complementary effect on blocking. Sites like us have obligations to parents to overblock rather than underblock. Personally, I hate it, but I'm stuck with it.
