NB the keyword search was not carried out by 6A/LJ -- they only acted
on reports brought to them by other people. (They said so, and I'm
inclined to believe them when they say that if they started searching
for stuff by keyword themselves, they would lose their common carrier
status and essentially be obliged to remove any offending stuff that
happens to be there -- which would require great teams of people
combing the site every day.)
