Ah, takes me back

Definitely not new - quite a few years ago I ran smack bang into fairly strong reactions to my use of the blacklist/whitelist terms in some documents I was producing. I was to be frank completely puzzled as to why what seemed to me to be the smallest/non technical element of the proposal kicked off such a storm.

Ah, to be young and naive - these days I carry more bureaucratic battle scars than a viking berserker.
