Actually, I had a website bookmarked a while ago that talked about how the Cybersitter filter program was pretty insane about the websites it blocked.

The best example I remember is that it blocked websites that had the word "mistress" anywhere in it, thus denying access to all websites where the word "webmistress" could be found, regardless of its contents or information.

Maybe I should find that site again . . . . .
