My recommendation is that we kill this part of the thread before someone gets
sued for slander and defamation and harrassment. This is serious advice and
I really sincerely hope you take it.

I believe you are talking about Libel, and if I recall, that requires the

      1.      Malice of intent
      2.      Knowledgeable untruth

If either is missing, I believe libel cannot be prosecuted.

Yep, that was what NetRail was missing with me. It is very hard to shut
someone up who is telling the truth. Exodus should get together with
NetRail, at least their legal people sound like a match.

IANAL either.
