Ok, Could you add a TOS/T&C comment regarding April Fool's and other
speculative type postings..
I know that on the posting page it clearly states that you agree not to
submit " false,fradulent,incomplete or decpetive information.".

That's an interesting point.  I hadn't realized that April Fool's Day hoaxes
that don't contain a disclaimer are actually violating the T&C.


However, I feel that a clearly marked speculative post might start up new
disscusions in some areas.

That's good or bad?

A good thing (if the posts are clearly marked.) :-).
However I am not sure what a suitable disclaimer wording would be.

I also suggested having a seperate group for speculations of the 'Article
from tommorow' type nature so that people reading them would clearly know
that they were not factual but speculation.
