Well, if this isn't a forum for people to express ideas, opinions, and 
exchange information, what is it?  Think about it for a minute and try to
fit any article you've read into a catagory other than above.  If it isn't
for this purpose and people can be sued for what they post, then we best
drop the net all together.  Besides, didn't somebody in net.legal find out   
that postings were inadmissable as court eveidence?
