Tashi, I think I understand what Sages was suggesting.

He felt that a hosts file slows the system down. But--correct me if I'm wrong, Sages--he did not mean the hosts file was no good. He was suggesting what he thought might be a better idea, which would be to place the bad guys in a content advisory. He felt that would make them really angry (hence the red-faced emoticons) and that would be a deterrent to them.

And, as much as it would make the bad guys unhappy, he felt it would "make loads of [good] people happy".

I am not giving any opinion either way. I am only hoping to make one person understood to another. Again, my apologies if I have made a mistake, Sages. Is this what you meant?
