Private biz.

Bill - I am sure that is a posssibility.  They block Limewire 
(peer-to-peer sharing) and of course hundreds even thousands of sites 
that mention certain subjects and countries - that I can't mention 
for fear of a knock on the door myself - in a central server.  I 
believe that all internet access is monitored which suggests that it 
all goes through a big server.  So yes, you may be right, but what 
exactly is the question that I should ask to my ISP??  In general, 
they are pretty helpful, if you can define your issue in a platform 
independent way.
