We have removed the thread previously on board on this subject for our own protection.
Please remember that the libel laws in the UK are much tougher than in the United States and by allowing such threads we leave the door open to possible legal action against the board and our parent company.
If any of you have wondered what would happen in such a circumstance I can tell you; regardless of whether we were guilty or innocent of the charges the Reader would close the site. The costs of defending against any sort of litigation are more than we are worth.
Thanking you in advance for your cooperation and hoping we can be around for a long time to come –
your humble TubaDiva
