One of my neighbors is a parent, and has two kids, 10 and 8.
The other night, while I was on Ditto, he calls me over via e-mail and says he can't access eBay.
I walk over, and in 10 minutes, i figure it out.
His filtering software blacklisted eBay as a "questionable site."
I asked him what he was looking at, and he says 'Oh, just some Esquarian Equipment and I was trying to locate the soundtrack to Hawaii Five-O'.
I don't know if he was looking at something else here, or wheter or not "Esquarian Equipment" was mean for a particular fetish (Yes, there is a fetish that requires Esquarian Equipment, and it's not bestiality).
His filtering software is Netnanny, and I've heard of the ACLU going aganst the maker in some capacity over Gay/Lesbian Discrimination on that software.
Anyone wanna shed light into what might've happened as to why Netnanny blacklisted eBay?

That's the problem with ALL filtering software ... you are at the mercy of what the sellers consider "acceptable". He'll have to ask NetNanny what the problem with eBay is.
I think he can edit the preferences to ALLOW all visits to eBay, or just turn it off when he's using the computer and re-start it when he quits.
