- No sysadmin wants to (or should have to) fight a lawsuit on behalf of
- ANY user. If you have a problem with an individual's actions in a
- public forum, why should you expect the organization to censure (or
- censor) that individual?
-
- If you believe that the absence of an explicit disclaimer makes the
- service provider liable for postings by its users, you are misunderstood.
- In _Cubby v. CompuServe._, a US court determined that CompuServe was
- *not* liable for postings/uploads made by one of its users.
