It is not a question of good taste.

It is a question of repositories of illegal (as in *stolen*) material in the
groups we do not carry, and defined-as-illegal material within the State of
Illinois in two (images of pedophilia and bestiality, to name them).

The amateur erotica groups *are* here, and are available, provided that you
submit proof of age to us in an acceptable form.  The stolen-girlie-scans
are not, nor are the stolen-software-from-Microsoft-and-others groups.  This
material is legal to carry and distribute to those who are of age in this
state.

This has nothing to do with taste, or morals.
