I started a poll in IMHO this afternoon and now the thread’s gone?

WTF?

Your thread got moved off the board because you were asking for a legal opinion.

Yes, it’s a poll but the way you structured it and the following posts all go toward discussing who is legally at fault.

I’m sure you didn’t mean to solicit legal opinion but that’s what happened.

We all are, sugar. We all are.

I’m sorry if this upset you.

**Inigo**. Sorry, I’m the one that removed your poll. In trying to discuss the issue with one of the IMHO mods, I dropped the ball. I should have emailed you about it.

Yes, I felt you were being a bit too specific in asking a legal question.
