Hi Jim,

To add to your second point, libel MUST be shown and proven to have caused the libelled party REAL damages. If someone says something about another in a public forum that might not be true, be it stated as fact, provable damages are the cause for a viable suit. If it doesn't hurt you (might make you mad for a while, but you can't prove actual damages), let it go. Record it, save it in any manner that you want, but let it go.

My opinion based on previous attourney consultations on internet communication regards,

Bob
