Don't shoot the massager.
again, that's bs. nowhere does the policy state "silently delete things without talking to anyone", nor does it state "ignore common sense, blindly follow the rules, and act how your think the policy states". nothing here was cause for alarm that could possibly have warranted straight up deletion. > Since I can't just fix the copyright (that would be more wrong) considering how copyright *actually* works for us, this statement is fairly ludicrous. > I opted for the easy way out - remove offending bits. sorry, but you did it wrong. please don't do it again. -mike
