Jim:
Are you advising me to stay away from this filtering issue? It seems to me
to be the most intriguing libraryland issue in decades, and it has by no
means been fully played out. My feeling is that librarians have to be able
to SELECT materials, just as they have in the past, and the Internet is no
exception--particularly where children are concerned. (I have a 4 and 6
year old, so maybe I'm just a little too sensitive here!).
