[DECtalk] Some adult files removed from the archive

Hello,
I know back in August I said I wasn't going to do this, but I still haven't
heard from Planetmirror and the mirror still exists.  However, I have taken
it upon myself to remove what I consider to be the most potentially
offensive material from the archive.  Note, nothing is permanently gone.  If
this causes an uproar it can be restored.  All files in the "Jokerdog and
InthAinElf from Accessible Chat" folder have been removed, and the file
"Blind Porno.mp3" in the Miscellaneous folder has been removed.  True, this
isn't actually porn but the filename alone might lead certain people to
believe that it is.  Do you guys think I should switch to a "No
offensive/adult/porn material" policy for the archive?  Obviously if
Planetmirror is to mirror the archive this should be done.  Another thing I
could do is to restore these files to a secondary unmirrored archive set up
specifically for adult material.  Right now, I haven't removed anything for
copyright reasons.
Jayson.
