Dear Ms. Knight,

Thank you for your reply.  On February 29th I submitted this
request to block the URL given below in the "Hate Speech"
category, so I was wondering if it had been reviewed yet.
I hadn't heard back from SmartFilter since your initial reply.
You probably get a lot of URL's submitted for blocking so
please let me know what you decide at your convenience.

-John
