>>Again, I am not discussing "censoring ideas". I want to know if its

being accessed.<<
Technically, easy enough to test, open your hosts file and do an entry like
127.0.0.1 www.abc.com
it should block it just as if the root servers blocked it and you can test
to see if this is "feasible" all you like without actually affecting anyone
else.
The problem with feasibility is that not all of us consider peril sensitive
sunglasses to be a solution.
