boo hiss microsoft
Yeah thanks microsoft for slowing down the internet yet again,

What gives microsoft the right to help users who are fat fingered?

I say lets return to the good old days when if you fat fingered in a bad URL you pay the price.

so now we have increased the mesaage traffic by another 4 bounces < 2 to get the ip of microsoft db and another 2 to actually ask the db if the the site is "politically correct"! AND for what?

o so ms or mr dummy can always be assured that tehy are getting to their bank's web site ? well if the jerk cannot tell whether they are on their bank's web site or not; i say screw them they shouldn't be using the web!

o so cute little suzi Q will not key in a bad man's url. WHERE ARE SUZI'S PARENT'S THEY should be monitoring her! The internet was not made to babysit!!

Yeah thanks microsoft for slowing down the internet yet again to make the internet the innocuous place that bill gates thinks it should be!

i can only hope that the cluster of microsoft machines go down and hose all those who sign up for this service. but then there will probably be a hue and cry to put this service as part of the DNS servers ARRGGHHH!!
