[philmont] why on earth is it here

If you are not using Firefox with the add block extensions you should

give it a try. If you guys did not tell me about the offensive adds I
would not know as they were filtered by my browser. Makes my Internet
surfing a lot faster and easier. Works fine with most Google and free
site adds as well. Downside is that I don't get the adds I may
otherwise want.

But since I seldom "want" any ads so I can live with it.

As to the offensive content. The Adult Industry has led the way for
media content since the beginning. They were at the lead in print
publications and 8MM movies, and VHS, Beta, CD, DVD and at the very
front of the Computer Multi-Media revolution. The Adult industry has
always been first in most Internet technological breakthrough. My
guess is that they will be the ones who find a way to successfully get
the other senses (Touch, Taste and Smell) to our computers in the same
way that they have led Sight and Sound.

I am not saying what they do is good. It is simply what it is.

For me it is the same as those who don't like military spending but love
the byproducts that came from the military and NASA research.

Oh yeah, I asked a gay co-worker several years ago about the "Bear"
reference. Seems that this is a rather unpopular subgroup of fat hairy
trucker type guys. The immediate mental image was enough for me to
skip lunch that day.

Who is also getting ready for the AA trip. By California state law I
cannot begin to pack until Thursday night since the plane does not leave
until Friday. May end up making an exception this year.
