Could you be more specific about this? I don't see any previous correspondence with you on this subject. Is it a specific URL or a specific domain that is being blocked? What is the software doing the censoring?

I try to keep my sites free from objectionable material. I do sometimes get alerts over the word "nipple" though. Censorship software is generally pretty flaky, in addition to being fundamentally un-American in concept.
