   Well, I hate to admit this, but puritanism is alive and well in the
States, we aren't quite as socially evolved as you wonderful Dutch
folks, and issues concerning 'decency laws' are why we can access your
site directly, while other countries must access mirror sites of SCEA
on their own servers. This also affects how the newsgroups are
managed, but I forget all the details,I read this explanation some
time ago. At least, that is what I remember one of the staffers saying
once, I could be wrong.
