"Says who? Me? No. I don't know whether the statement is true or false and will not allow it to
remain deleted using that as the reason. What if the statement is later proven true? The site
would be in deep doo-doo for having taken it upon itself to say "No, that's a false statement." My
leaving it intact doesn't mean I think it's true either. Because the bottom line is that I (and the
site) do not determine what is true and what is false."

Just because it is posted on the net doesn't mean it is free for the taking. No one would ever become a photojournalist if they didnt have some legal protection in reference to their photos.....
