: The guidelines state the following"

: "This is not a forum for airing your dissagreements with what competing
: designers or builders are doing. You can use your own web site to do
: that."

: "If you think the competition is misstating the facts, respond with
: care"

: I just point this out, because it appears that some of you don't follow those
: guidelines.

: That puts Nick in a bad position. When you libel someone and they sue, the
: owner of "www.kayakforum.com", Guillemot Kayaks and Nick get
: sued for publishing the libel. Then the assets of
: "www.kayakforum.com", Guillemot Kayaks and Nick get transferred
: to the person you have libelled.

: The neat part is you walk away with no liability.

: I will not respond to comments about this post.

:so if we were to listen to your libel argument and apply the theory to some
cases of stock market manipulation via Yahoo message boards (which I believe has occurred) then we would see the SEC shutting down Yahoo for "publishing" those posts...which to my knowledge hasn't happened...I think George is a little off base on this one...
