CompuServe Messages

Mark, If there were a way to warn you that the contents of any particular message might contain material that would offend you…we'd have such a mechanism in place. We have such a mechanism in the libraries, the description of the file. Someone who is offended by nudes (male or female) won't download the file. Since you have to download the file to view it…then the choice is left to the individual, not to us here. The "easy" way to filter things…is to not allow them in the first place. If it's not there…you can't see it. The next easiest way would be for your own terminal program to have a filtering capacity. The problem would be that the user would have to configure it by typing in the words the user finds objectionable. Having CIS implement such a thing on a system wide basis is dreaming…the expense involved vs the benefit gained would be way out of line. Don
