Interesting. Perhaps our intrepid Technology Committee Chairwoman can explain it. Elaine?

I went to the site just now and once earlier today and that did not happen to me. Not sure what problem you are having.

Also, I forgot an important event on the calendar and that is the County Committee meeting scheduled for the 18th.

Dan--

Try googling "Berks Democrats"--the Google listing for www.berksdems.org displays the warning "this site may harm your computer."

It appears to be another hoop that our cruel internet overlords are going to make websites jump thru. Even though their FAQ states otherwise, it appears that anybody can file a complaint and get a website put on the list. The only way to get off the list is to request a review. I have asked for a review and for a copy of their justification for listing. I have also requested a copy of the original complaint.

So this could be a dirty-trick type of sabotage? That anyone can perpetrate on any website--political or otherwise--that they want to undermine? Yikes.

[John Morgan]

That's what it might be, yes.
