A Poor Choice of Dates

Hi Folks

Well it seems as if I picked a bad time for starting this idea.  As was pointed out to me, half the world is going on spring break.  The sudden drop in the number of daily posts to LM_Net attest to the fact that people bolted out the door on Friday.

Never the less, for those of us who are still around, we can still collect the data on sites blocked erroneously by filters. Remember the very short form for reporting is at http//oii.org/html/overblocking.html

Thanks to bdo and TheBear who posted the first two reports, and thanks to the folks who have written to me in more detail about their experiences.

Keep the reports coming in.  I'll still post results after 7 school days. I have a feeling there won't be enough from which to draw any conclusions or open any eyes that are shut to the problem, but if we all chip in I bet there will be enough so that when folks come back from spring break we can give them an opportunity to participate, add to the data and do something meaningful.

So, keep those cards in letters coming in. ;->
