Re: Memo: The State Of The Lists

I whole heartedly agree with you, Stephen. It's almost impossible to 'protect' our own children from these things...never mind 'virtual children.' But my stance as a list owner perpetuates a required statement about not encouraging or promoting sex, violence, or foul language to those under 17, hence the separtation of Loves and Wants if you will. It's a quid pro quo stance, in accordance with yahoo groups terms of service and a statement I must (at least publically) stand by. ;)

(steps back and thinks that was a very technical answer)

in otherwords.... I have to divide and publicly state underage reasonsfor the division, otherwise yahoo will have my ass in the fryer =D

I agree with most of your reply, Kimber, with one exception.I must respectfully disagree with the attempt to protect the youth of america from the evil we perpetrate on the buffywantswillow list. Iknow that this is a stance taken mostly for legal reasons, but I have never understood the american desire to protect children from sex and foul language but not violence. Oh well. It's just that by the age of twelve most children know more foul language then their parents. And have heard cruder waqys to refer to what is esentially a beautiful act.yes I mean sex. I hate to sound superior, but really, trying to protect any child over 12-13 from the idea of sex is like trying to lock the barn door after the horses are gone.

Anyway that's just my opinion, I could be wrong.

Steven
