Dear Retired,
Over the years, times have changed. Our domains have been under
increasing attack, a fact no doubt with which you are familiar.
Passwords address a variety of issues ... and not simply obscenity
codes. You do realise that it is a violation of Astra TOS to post ANY
image of underage, even Eskimo boys dressed in furs and mukluks?
Copyright issues are also of a greater concern. One may have one's
account terminated for a single violation, provided there are those
who are willing to grass you out ... and there are, for I know.
Do I lament the present state of affairs? Absolutely, so I agree with
your complaint. Please let me know what then I might do?
Sincerely,
Victor
My two pence worth.
