Fair enough Moderator,
I never suggested that people offer opinions. However facts, such as Mr A pty ltd located at No 1, The Street, Goldcoast are offering system 'abc' for $50,000 are facts - not opinion. Opinion could be deemed slanderous whereas facts are not. Name, occupation, address, price and system name or method of selection ARE NOT SLANDEROUS.
Similarly, postings that directly refer to the information contained within the OCBA or similar websites are NOT slanderous, they are - yes you guessed it - Fact.
It is a pity that you have to be concerned with the threat of litigation from these people, whilst completely understandable given the format of the forum, as it only serves to allow them to continue to thrive. Not your problem i hear you say, fair point. However i for one feel that postings that strictly adhere to the statement of fact, as outlined above, should be left alone and not edited. If this means i have to pay your legal costs, well you know what, go ahead and forward all mail from them to me. I would be happy to take them on based upon the principles listed above.
