As a former system operator of a bulletin board, my thoughts are simple; only Randy Petersen or one of Inside Flyer's representatives or delegated representatives should be able to make any comments on content here. If they don't like doc's post, they should tell him, and for all intensive purposes, here their word is God. Period.

The only thing I care about as common courtesy is a descriptive headline, so when I see it on my 'latest' list I can ignore it if it's not of interest to me.

As per the copyright thing, again, only two people should be concerned -- InsideFlyer and doc. Let InsideFlyer make their own decision. I've posted news articles in the past. I snippet one to two paragraphs and link to the original article. Works for me.

I've run bulletin boards and mailing lists for over ten years. Self-policing does NOT work. There has to be authority in one place and only one place, and that is the hoster/owner of the bulletin board. After all, due to the jumbled state of laws they may be held responsible so they and only they have the power.
