Thanks for doing the commentary, Walt.

I think the comment is clear enough -- this isn't indymedia. It's also not
crimethinc, or infoshop, or noiraqwar.info, though it uses all those web
sites too.

I agree with Lance and Jonathan that we have no policy to hide
this, even though we might not like it. At worst, this is unclear citation
of sources, a crime of which many of our regular posters are guilty.

If you'd like to add a policy line that would include things like this,
please make a suggestion?

I vote against hiding, but leave the comment on it to make it clear it's
not an imc publication.  I myself have created posters that say
"www.indymedia.org" without the permission of the collective -- who's to
say this kid isn't also within his/her rights?
