Are they serious?? The URL, btw, should be a link to a page showing information about when the sky in nearby El Rito is dark for astronomical observing.
BTW: welcome to entry #600 in this journal.
UPDATE: So it turns out the URL is a 404, which only makes it funnier. I wrote an email to the fine citizens who run the webcensortron here at the lab and I got this curt reply from Ed:
"Education" is not on our blocked categories list. This is a generic error message, listing all possible categories, caused by a failure to resolve a URL containing an ip address instead of a hostname. Most legitimate websites contain hostnames, or a resolveable ip address. If you have a business need to have a site reachable only by an unresolveable ip address unblocked, please let us know.Better to be safe than sorry, right Ed? I love blanket censorship with exceptions made for verifiably benign content.
