Heh. I knew someone was going to say that.

I confess that I would start giving strange looks to an FAI that developed
the habit of visiting BDSM webpages or downloading tentacle hentai. No
offense to aficionados is intended, but you have to admit it would be very
odd. The telephone sex website would be more appropriate. (Alas, I
understand that the site is down these days...)
