I love this site, I love this community and I enjoy and appreciate every bit of effort that is put into it by everyone (my member dues are in the mail!), I also realize that we are basically on your dime, Todd... But, from an encompassing and objective view of all posts re: this thread, what this little maelstrom appears to have been rubs me the wrong way... more or less what it has all boiled down to is the two people with the most pull here (say what you like, but it *is* todd's server, domain, etc and we all know that you can pretty much view todd and suz as "todd and suz", an item) bullying Huw into "voluntarily" reversing his actions... I'm sorry if I'm way out of line here, but I'm one person who will *not* censor himself or his actions, and my resolve often strengthens in the face of external pressure to modify my behavior... I feel that a member of this community was forced to conform to the morality of other individuals... personally I don't have a problem with what Huw did... I *do* understand about priveledged/confidential information... but I agree with those who stated they don't feel any truly "sensitive" information was conveyed in Huw's post/web page I was really upset by Suz's post stating "this isn't an issue for a vote, you have to take action now"... basically guilt-tripping Huw into what *she* believes is the right thing to do... and because she doesn't see it (or doesn't *want* to see it) as an arguable issue, she didn't feel we as a community should be polled for a consensus... I just feel like we all signed up to be a part of a community whose terms of use did not state "your words and actions will be monitored and approved of by the creator/administrator"... something about the duplicitous nature of saying "I'm not telling you what you should do, I'm just telling you that I think you know the right thing to do" really rubbed me the wrong way.. And I firmly believe that this issue and its resolution might have been vastly different if it were only me (or scott arthur, tamy teed, hell, even the lovable johnathan wilson) who posed the idea for Huw to acquiesce > :( J

(...) I can see how you could see it that way. But it shouldn't really be surprising that a couple of people who are so insanely in love with a company's product that they would start a fansite devoted entirely to it, would also be correspondingly (...)

Since I know a little bit about law I will give the legal prespective of what Huw did.

OK, OK, the scans are gone. Todd -- please delete the message. I cannot get Outlook to do it, as suspected. Huw (25 years ago, 5-Dec-99, to lugnet.general, lugnet.loc.uk)
