Hi!
 
Welcome back, Dicey!  I see you've been busy decorating around here;
nice to have you back among the, uh, non-decorators . . .

Would it be all right I ask what MEG learned, and if nothing was
learned, what you decided and why?  Did this investigation concern only
the Yahoo TOS, or did you consider other legal reasons why posts might
need to be deleted (in this context, the reason that comes to mind might
be concerns about knowingly allowing someone to read defamatory
statements about themselves).  And why, if you don't mind, were you
discussing this issue *after* the arrival of new elves, if you are at
liberty to say?
