Good points, Boogie.

Something along the lines of my post that I failed to mention last night.

Just as there are visitors seeking odd/niche/outrageous/borderline sites, there are also visitors that are apalled by it. If this type of visitor happened across such a listing anywhere, they would be less likely to come back. I know I have had visitors email me questioning an image or gallery they found linked from my list. A large part of my business is all about keeping the surfer coming back and perhaps purchasing something from time to time.

Heck.. it wasn't until 2 or 3 years ago that I would even post a listing with the word 'teen' in the title. Guess it's just the mother in me.

I've been sued twice along with the likes of Time Warner and Sony because of school shootings in Paducah, Ky and Colombine. I didn't particularly enjoy living several years waiting for the outcome of the Paducah case which was ruled on, went to appeal, then even to the Supreme Court for possible review. I sure didn't want to be part of paying out on a $120million settlement because of what some teenager decided to do. Nor did I enjoy the publicity or the scrutinity it brought.
