Like Tin Man, I have been receiving inappropriate AOL searches. They fall into two very different categories: searches for photos of pre-pubescent girls sex; and gay, hairy, older men. Make your minds up, AOL - which am I? The annoying thing is, the AOL search is a directory, assessed by humans, rather than an automatic search engine.

Blogger won't let me post the links, as it converts ampersands, but to illustrate just how bad the AOL directory is, my site comes up on a search for hairstyles. Odd, when you think about it, but perhaps not as odd as the other top results: a review of Boogie Nights, a map of Lesotho, a biography of Alice Walker and a Wisconsin-based group re-enacting the Roman legionaries and civilians of the mid-first century.

AOL, sort it out!
