service, you agree that we may use and disclose as we see fit and consistent
with applicable law (including posting your e-mail(s) and our response) any
information you provide or that we obtain concerning your use of the service,
subject to the terms set forth below and in our
privacy policy. If you disagree with any material

SENDING COMMENTS
TO US
If you would like to send an e-mail comment or suggestion about this site, please
click here. Posting a message to a chat room, bulletin
board or other general user forum is not a good way to communicate directly with
us. Note that all emails are subject to being posted with or without your
permission. If you don't want to have your comments posted for all the world to
see, don't send us any correspondence by email or otherwise.
CHAT ROOMS AND FORUMS
We
encourage an open exchange of
information and ideas. But we cannot and do not review every posting made in the
chat rooms, forums, and other public posting areas. You may well read any given
posting before anyone on our
staff does. Take what you find with a grain of salt.
You can expect these areas to include information and opinions from a variety of
individuals and organizations other than ours.
We do not endorse or guarantee the accuracy of any posting, regardless of
whether the posting comes from a user or from a scholar or other "expert" who
may or may not be fully informed about us. There is
no substitute for healthy skepticism and your own good judgment
Responsibility for what is posted
in the chat rooms, forums, and other public posting areas on our
web sites lies with each user—you alone are responsible
for material you post. By using our web sites you agree not to post or transmit any
defamatory, abusive, obscene, threatening or illegal material, or any other
material that infringes on the ability of others to enjoy our web sites or that infringes on the
rights of others. We retain the right to deny access to anyone who we believe
has violated these terms or any other term of this agreement.
Although
we cannot monitor all the postings in the chat rooms, forums, and other
public areas, we reserve the right (but assume no obligation) to delete, move,
or edit any postings that come to our attention that we consider unacceptable or
inappropriate, whether for legal or other reasons. We will not, in the ordinary
course of business, review private electronic messages that are not addressed to
us. However, we will
comply with the requirements of the law regarding disclosure of such messages to
others, including law enforcement agencies.
SOLICITATIONS AND SUBMISSIONS
We
expect that you will not use the service to
violate anyone's rights in copyrights, trademarks, or other intellectual
property. By submitting material to us,
you are representing that you are the owner of the material, or are making your
submission with the explicit consent of the owner. Submitting material that is
the property of another without the specific consent of its owner, is not only a
violation of this agreement, but may also subject you to legal liability for
infringement of copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property rights.

any area of our web sites to advertise or to solicit anyone to buy or sell products or services, or to
make donations of any kind, without our express written approval.
