Thanks for your updates about filtering.
Glen you say that your filter "bans" heaps of innocent sites.
That is one of the main arguments used by the "No filter" mob. (I'm in that mob).
Their other main argument is that the "network" will grind to a halt. (The more filtering the slower everything runs).
Most servers are already too slow at peak times. Traffic is increasing far faster than processing speeds anyway.[/quote]
The slowing down of service and excessive banning results were attributed to initial trials that have since been improved upon greatly... many media naysayers inaccurately still refer to the initial trials in the arsenal against the "net filter".
Don't quote me but the service obstruction figure went down from somewhere around 30% to under 2% (probably even lower, the information is somewhere on the net)
