[LINK] quote about lists of censored materials

[Jon Seymour]

I suspect the same fate awaits this page: http://tinyurl.com/64ctnd

This page, amongst other things, lists the Wikipedia pages that IWF
would block if it could. If this list keeps growing, it could arguably
become the most evil page in Wikipedia and hence in need of blocking
by the IWF.

The fact that the page is, in fact, Wikipedia's description of the IWF
itself is, to this mind at least, somewhat amusing.
