IMHO Adult magazines label themselves "adult" as a form of advertising. In the same way, a site with a sufficiently hard core self-rating may attract customers specifically because of the rating. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Bill Frantz | The CDA means | Periwinkle -- Computer Consulting (408)356-8506 | lost jobs and | 16345 Englewood Ave. frantz@netcom.com | dead teenagers | Los Gatos, CA 95032, USA

I predict that 6 months after the first internet rating system is widely deployed, the largest use of search engines such as altavista will be to look for pages with the most "naughty" ratings. Perhaps such services will allow text searches for free, but charge for searches based on the rating tag... --Jeff -- Jeff Weinstein - Electronic Munitions Specialist Netscape Communication Corporation jsw@netscape.com - http://home.netscape.com/people/jsw Any opinions expressed above are mine.
the big web engines already are getting their most hits for the words on the http://www.c2.org/ page (see the source, it's in comments.) I still need to write mod_hotbabes.c for apache, though.
