FWIW – not that it is likely to be an issue for this website, but . . . . Rich – you might want to think about the Digital Millennium Copyright Right Act at least a little. Basically – the less a web host directly interacts in a *non-automated* way (i.e. personally deciding what or who ends up on the blog) the more likely the host is to maintain the safe harbor provisions of the DMCA if there were ever to be any copyright protected components ending up here.

Good point – I was not thinking along potential litigious paths, though I do think the up/down votes do work under DMCA since it is through viewer input instead of moderator input. I am just concerned which way would the ‘content and quality’ of discourse would go on an up/down vote system.
