The post that you (Todd) refer to is clear cut but the other post is
definitely a bit more "gray" and more open to interpretation.  (I personally

The point I was trying to make in both posts is that I can't "give permission"

would feel much better if TLC would make a statement of their own that

I would too.  BTW, (and now it's my turn to split hairs :-) they haven't
forced me or attempted to force me to police things for them, as policing
things would (IMHO) imply some sort of monitoring and judgment calling.
When I've made objections and asked people to change their course, it's
been on my own accord.  I know what you meant, though.
