DearWebby is actually Helmut Morscher, the CEO of Webby, inc.
Originally the "Tech Support Pits" were reports of the funniest tech support incidents, but over the years the
column gradually shifted to answering tech support questions put forward by the readers of the Dear
Webby Humor Letter.
This collection of computer and web advice was started partly because readers demanded an archive, and partly
because some questions were asked again and again. Each page has a different day's Tech Support Pits column.
Have FUN!

Tech Support Pits column from Dear Webby's Humor Letter of
04/26/04: Parental control filters
Tech Support Pits:
From Kerry===
Dear Webby,
What do recommend for parental control filters?
Kerry
Dear Kerry
A sturdy marble or oak rolling pin seems to be the best.
The software parental controls are way too soft. Most
likely your kids can crack them a lot faster than you can
set them up, plus they can always go to different but
similar sites.
Just hanging around now and then and making it clear
that computer use is a privilege, that can be cut at any
time, is the most effective.
Kids will sneak a peek at taboo stuff anyway, just like
you did. The general idea is to not make such a big
fuss about it that it turns into an obsession.
A good education about what lurks on the chat programs
might go a lot further in protecting your kids than any
software.
Have FUN
Dear Webby
