Lisa: With respect to whether someone who posts on SI or any other message board may be what has become known as a "limited public figure," here is how the U.S. Supreme Court defines it: "More commonly, those classed as public figures have thrust themselves to the forefront of a particular public controversy in order to influence the resolution of the issues involved." Gertz v. Robert Welch, Inc. 418 U.S. 323, 345 (1974). Personally, I am of the opinion that some, if not many, posters easily fit into this definition: obviously, some do not, however. Everything else aside, you do have the most interesting profile of any I have seen on SI - even if it does take several minutes to load..... Troy
