Hi Graham I respect Steve's opinion, but I disagree with him. I do concede that the line between "news" (proper fodder for CCC posts) and "commercial exhortation" (forbidden by the charter) can be fine. You probably recall that yo-yo who was posting a month or so ago in CCC and CTF those "Click here to play me now" things. The second one he posted in CTF I deleted and sent him an email to stop. He fired off a hostile email to me to which I more or less replied "one is news, two or more is advertising". I see the Rybka situation as similar. I have not read all the posts, but from what I've see Vas has made one announcement and responded to questions. I see no clear violation of the charter. It's a matter of interpretation, you are the interpreter, and I think you're right for letting the posts stand. Just my 2 cents. Best Dan H.
