They had reasonable grounds for believing that the page might be illegal: i.e. the fact that the police were calling the page illegal. They were simply being prudent by disassociating themselves from being potential accomplices to the crime. It was a business decision, plain and simple. If you were running a daycare and somebody accused one of your employees of being a child molester, wouldn't you suspend him until he was either convicted or cleared? Otherwise you open yourself up to a lot of potential headache. If you don't like their decision, you can always change to a different ISP. -- ##### |\^/| Colin R.
