Oops.  Just realized that we're talking about two different kinds of
filters here.  Internet filters or censorware and e-mail filters such
as Yahoo!'s Spamgard.  The first type is pure evil in my books, and
the second could be more advantageous than disadvantageous if you use
them the least amount and allow the client control over what gets filtered.
