The "if you edit it means you're liable" rule has been around forever. I'm trying to remember the case back in the 90's where this came to being but we were told the reason Usenet did not remove content (when CP was posted back then) was due to this ruling.

OHHHHHH well since you put it that way so in other words we all get mad and say/type whatever in the heat of the moment!! but you could calm down and think about it come to your senses and do the right thing and change what you said and when you do think about it puttin someones address down so thousands can see it well that is kinda over the line no matter what the feud is in my opinion anyways
