Rampant Speculation: Is United Blocking Jaunted?

Update: Jaunted member The Gopher, who looks eerily like a middle aged Ron Jeremy, works for United and reports from within (see comments).

So there you have it, United employees are free to fly the friendly skies of Jaunted, according to Ron Jeremy.

Could United really be keeping its employees from logging onto Jaunted?

Something you may or may not know about websites: Many of them know where you're coming from. (In web-speak that's a referer, with one "r.") We saw an interesting referer address recently, and when we checked it out, found the above message.

So we went digging a bit further, and, yep, it's hosted on an official United server. We'd love to think that the airline wouldn't want to keep its employees in the dark about travel industry news, but we've heard about aggressive content filtering before. So is United taking a page from its hub airport Denver International? Looks like it!
