Gee, Perry . . .

Is your response ignorance or dis-information??

 Fri, Sep 19 1997 

Responding to the rapid increase in the amount of 
sexual material on the World Wide Web, an Internet
policy organization has floated a plan for a 
designation for adult-oriented Web sites. 

Under the proposal, such sites would get a new domain name 
---the three letters that end a site's Internet address. 
The proposed name is .xxx. 

The new suffix would let Web surfers steer clear of sexually 
explicit sites and would more effectively block children from 
accessing the sites. Conversely, it could make sex-related sites 
easier to find. 

The change was suggested by the Generic Top-Level Domain Policy 
Oversight Committee, a Geneva-based group that has no official 
role in setting standards but is considered influential.
