I agree.  I mean, I wouldn't like the moderators _not_ to be _able_ to play it
by ear at all anymore, there should be some fleibility about how the job is
done, otherwise it would become completely intolerable.  But a guidlines for
moderators should exist, and cover those copywrite issues.

I think this is so obvious that I'm really amazed that such a thing doesn't
exist.  Why not?
