I know what you're thinking, and don't count on it. None of us will live so long as to ever see a legal distinction made between distributing child porn and creating said junk. Look at the panic in Britain; it's like a commie scare or something.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
