Re: [AGA-mcm] Moderator thoughts on forum proposal #3

[Larry Lampert <l_lampert@yahoo.com>]

Yes, err everything that Scott said. ;-)

We want to reserve the right, this does not mean
excersise it frequently, but have the right to remove
anything that could be construed by anybody as
offensive. 

We also can not claim censorship or moderation of the
forum as that will attach liability for the posts to
us. Once we say we moderate posts the "onus is on us"
to do so. Sorry couldn't resist the "Heiberism" ;-)

As far as content, my original list was even bigger.
Scott cut it down some. IMO The actual topics
implemented should only be those deemed to be viable
by our moderators. 

Ferts are Fertilizers.

regards,

Larry
