I was surprised to find the Yahoo group vissidarte-vissidarte is now
restricted to over 18.

Some operas do have rather lurid stories, but most are not in English.
What harm could they do to young people?

I tried the site again and the 18 restriction has gone. What is happening?
Perhaps it's time this computer was looked at again, it's been a while since
the computer man came.

Some OPERAS have "lurid" stories? What about modern day movies and TV
shows? We've come a long, long way from "Hayes Office" censorship - I
can't think of a single opera nearly as "lurid" as some of the stuff
I've seem on prime time TV!

It may have more to do with the forum's participants than the subject
matter.

This newsgroup used to have some people posting very rude things to each
other, but surely not in vissidarte?

I think it might just be this computer, or Trend micro. Sometimes the
warning is there and sometimes not.

Last time I checked (and that was quite a while ago), Vissidarte was
the forum to which the rudest ones migrated.

Isn't that Charlie Handelman's group? If so, no thanks.

It's a very nice group of opera recordings. I haven't seen any other posts
in it.
Perhaps there is somewhere to click to make comments.

I was trying to say that more diplomatically, Paul....
