      Mr. Milburn,


      Recently, I began looking at different parental control programs available
      for limiting access to the internet by children.  With my daughter getting
      to the age of curiosity, she wants to get on the computer more and more.

      While searching the net, I ran across CyberSitter, which I quickly did a
      global search on to get as much information about it as I could.  What I
      found was, to put it nicely, appalling.  How on earth can you justify
      blocking a page simply because it disagrees with your software.  Or the
      fact that they disagree with some of the pages that you block?  And the
      fact that you would block out an entire DOMAIN simply because they believe
      in the right to free speech is at the very least selective censorship.

      I am definitely of the opinion that many of the actions your company is
      engaged in are borderline illegal if not extremely illegal.


      In short, I will not be purchasing your product and you can add another
      adversary to what I am sure is a quickly growing list.
