ClientOrg last year installed some web filtering thingy. It thought ppk's QuirksMode was a dating site (it's about browser compatibility), blocked all images and CSS files (but not the content) on Sam Ruby's Intertwingly as being related to "Criminal Activity and Hacking", asserted that JavaScript guru Dean Edwards' blog was "Webmail", and decided that the online manual for Apache Ant (a build tool) was "Social Networking"
