[In case you've been under a rock for the last few weeks (where I plan to be  
for the next three weeks, by the way) you may have missed all the controversy  
surrounding a "study" of pornography on the Internet by a CMU undergraduate  
named Martin Rimm.  Suffice it to say that many people believe the  
methodology, ethics, and results of this study to be severely tainted.  It  
appears that CMU may have been caught napping however... This Rimm, er, job  
first appeared as a "Carnegie Mellon Study" but, now that somebody at CMU has  
actually read it...  -psl]
