So in other words being a service provider for OFBiz becomes a liability and those who engage in amateur journalism through blogging and/or twittering are out? Sorry Sharan, but this is what I mean... every possible definition will have issues. Even if a definition is agreed on, how do we enforce it? Who will judge if something is appropriate or not by the definition? Who will interpret it? And... we're back to where we are now. -David
