Yes, I use my filter too--and support and expect others to use them as they
see fit... I certainly do mine!!! I can help if some are having
difficulty; I support filtering and have an understanding how to apply
them...



However, the very vocal ones--I am always left wondering if they really are
remarking about filtering their own content--or their wish to filter the
content of others (and, for what purpose would they do this?)... if that
goes on too far (controlling others), yanno, it leads to attempted thought
control--a guy wrote a book about that--George Orwell... Was that in 1984,
or was that about 1984? .. anyway, if you ask me--he was more a prophet,
some have already grown to accept what he (we?) feared...


Warmest regards,
John
