-> Which echo do you Moderate, Earl?

Somewhat unresponsive to the point.

I don't moderate THIS one.  Neither do you, I believe, in spite of your
moderator-role question to me.  The moderator of this echo asked me the
same question, though, the very first time I posted here, and I
responded to his satisfaction.

To try to direct your comment into a more useful and topical thread,
what do you think about the developing legal doctrines covering libel in
on-line forums?
