I'm sure Wakefield's well aware of all the gamblers anon info and I'm sure he's heard all the advice about simply walking away, since he's openly admitting he's a web gambler. That's all well and good, but not very helpful. He's just looking for one more thing to have in his arsenal of defenses to deter himself from giving in to the temptation. Sadly, I'm not savvy enough to offer any suggestions for filtering. Sorry, Wakefiled. But I think it would be good of folks to send him something more constructive than 'Go for a walk' or 'Use a sledgehammer.'

See example # Host Database # # localhost is used to configure the loopback interface # when the system is booting.

It's no different than being addicted to crack cocaine or alcohol. I don't gamble at all. Here in the USA, government sponsored gambling is something that keeps poor people poor. I'm already taxed enough in this state. Like most people I work hard for my money and no way am I tossing money in the trash can by gambling it away.
