You're not the only one puzzled, Nathan. I sent an e-note to Graeme Flanagan today, asking for clarification of exactly what's involved here. But he seems unable at the moment to supply more information. It's disturbing, though, that a site as inoffensive as his could be yanked out of the electronic ether simply because some petty, bluenosed tyrant raises a bogus objection to its content. What's to stop any other small Web sites or blogs from being mis-accused of pornographic connections, and similarly taken down? I'll let you know if I hear more about this issue.
