  I read your post, and all I could come up with was, "Huh"? Dont know 
what you have been reading, but I dont think it was the thread I think 
you are referring to. All I have seen posted is information which is 
based on fact. Do you know that a fact, does not consitute defamation no 
matter how much you may not like it?

  Anyway, there are list operators who can make these decisions without 
everyone else trying to do their jobs for them every time they think 
someone or something has over stepped, so why not let them do it.
