The problem is saying "no member of AGA" since one of them might post. I tried one more crack at the language with the attached. I also threw in some more "rules" stuff that I thought approriate. The "Indemnify and hold harmless" clause is great if it holds up -- probably hard to press --if any third party went after AGA, it would probably go after the poster, too -- so us going after the poster for related costs probably wouldn't be worthwhile. Nonetheless, it does provide some extra protections -- we can remind anyone taht's getting out of hand that by posting they agree to indemnify and hold harmless (i.e., that damaging posts may have consequences even if they are afraid of a losing a libel suit. So I gave it a go, including a clause regarding damaging the forum (bots, spiders, etc.s) -- I'd hate to go to allthis trouble and not put in something for Erik's server. sh --- Larry Lampert <l_lampert@yahoo.com> wrote: > The changes look good.
