Hi, Are the two messages of any interest to Pd users? If the answer is no, then i don't really see the point in not removing them, although i understand that this would go against the pd-list rules. This thing is i find this list to be extremely helpful and i d be very sad if this threat is credible and the future of pd-list actually endangered. I don't know anything about internet-related laws, though...
