[HP4GU-FAQ] Yahoo...& legal sensitivity

[Paul Kippes]

Earlier, Penny wasn't sure about the accessability of
our Yahoo! club.  Anyone can read all the messages. 
(Incidentally, that made archiving the club MUCH
easier and faster since no cookies were involved.)

I'm so much concerned about US libel laws (British
perhaps) as I am about IP.  We--or rather
smitster--have, in effect, taken Yahoo! property and
placed it on another public site.
