With respect to this issue, it's great that TLC will be taking a more • active
role here, as not only will they be able to clarify such questions • (assuming
that Brad succeeds in getting some of their legal counsel online) but they
will also be able to assume the entire burden of addressing potential
transgressions, especially the gray areas like this one.



OK, I'll be devil's advocate this time.

do not, they may even value our independence more than our sycophancy?
LUGNet is great for bringing us all together, and gets rid of the Chinese
whisper problem associated with word of mouth distribution of data. To me,
the internet is about getting the latest news fast (BTW : John Barnes has
just been sacked -
http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/uk/scotland/newsid_637000/637415.stm), not
waiting for the newspapers to be printed and then scanning them on to the
web.

2. What if Huw's posts last year was just a huge ploy be TLC to get our
attention?
