[Also, David Coursey was kind enough to invite me on his AnchorDesk radio show for the last two weeks to talk about the library filtering trial. Last week's archived audio is available here (http://www.cnet.com/broadband/0-7227152-7-7230027.html) if you click on the April 1 link. The previous week's show seems to have scrolled off the page. Finally, I spoke at the University of Pennsylvania last week. The group that organized the talk says the audio will be available online soon, and I'll pass it along when I get the URL. --Declan]
