[stylist] Ruling on posting adult content to STYLIST

[Barbara Hammel]

Just "contains adult content"?  I'd think it more relevant to write 
"contains strong language" or "contains violence" or "contains descriptions 
of sex".  Adult content is pretty broad.  I, personally, might read if it 
had two of the statements but not the other.  It's what the Braille Book 
Review does so one be informed.

A Congress that will always do its work in the dark must have something to 
hide.  The people have spoken, yet they do not listen.
