Hello Macca,

Thank you for your detailed reply. You'll have to excuse me here but I'm not very bright and sometimes struggle to grasp what are reasonably basic concepts unless they're explained to me several times.

So you're saying that because someone volunteers his time to oversee the management of a privately-owned resource, that they then owe a duty to the non-paying users of that forum... Why is this exactly? I mean, I could understand that the user of the free resource could perhaps accrue responsibility, but I can't seem to find any reason why someone volunteering their time to organise the provision of it should. Perhaps if you explained it to me in simpler terms?

Your suggestion that other users should be concerned about it happening to them reminds me of an old saying
"First they took away the arseholes, but I didn't complain because I'm not an arsehole.
Then they took away the liars, but I didn't complain because I'm not a liar.
Then they took away the ingrates, but I didn't complain because I'm not an ingrate.
Then things were very peaceful and everyone commented on how much nicer it was"

At least I think that is how it goes, as I said, I'm not real bright and struggle with abstract concepts.
