MichaelG, are there some clues you can give me about the blocking of my blog? Does it give a reason such as “Adult Content”, “Violence”, etc.? And is this some service your company subscribes to that I can content and perhaps get the restriction lifted?

It’s obviously not very effective as 75% of the blogs I read are not blocked. I believe it has to do with how you name your blog; keywords like “blog”, “forum”, “message boards”, etc. are “hits” and result in blockage.

JoeHuffman’s site is blocked by the firewalls I work behind. Is it something that can be copy/pasted for the reading enjoyment of us “secured” folks?

So, then a gun nutjob would be someone who shows up the 200 yard line on the range carrying a Thompson with drum mag and an Anzio Ironworks 20MM?

Blocked from my work as well, reason given as:
