> My opinion is that whoever was in charge of blacklisting certain sites for AOL didn't take the time to visit the sites individually and judge them. Most likely is that the person in charge of site blacklisting banned the Dialectizer because someone who was never happy and always wanted to make trouble called it racist or objectionable or successful. In turn, AOL's PR department wagged it's long, scraggly finger, and the Dialectizer was blacklisted.

Well, AOL has blocked near every translation site you can think of--a big frustration when I'm doing my German homework. (Fortunately they haven't found the one at altavista.de yet.) They don't like translating things, and I think it's because you could use them to access sites you shouldn't access, and the only difference is that now it's all in Redneck.

' Course, I never would've thought of that if I hadn't been blocked from the bloody things in the first place. Stupid AOL.
