[KLUG Members] Sinister Web Sites

[Ian]

I doubt it was the kids looking for porn but more likely them finding it.
I recently miss typed salon.com and got saln.com, needless to say it was
porn.  Anything is possible but Occom's(sp?) Razor would seem to indicate
an accident.

That sucks, I guess its time to have a talk.
