Last time someone tried to explain relative perception to me, I found I strongly disagreed.

On topic, can these filters be worked around with a proxy?

No one knows or no one cares? That was an interesting post Mark Harris of Waikanai. Frankly I'm staggered watching the various clampdowns on offer in the name of safety measures to preserve freedom.

Discworld methinks. But on the subject of WoW good luck for when you enter the Kitchen of Doom...

Despite the temporal distortion field that makes it The Day That Never Ends, eventually... it does.
