Ben, are you able to tell us what advice you receive when you get it?  I'm
sure we'd all be very interested to hear what rights we have, what
responsibilities Sharechat has and what responsibilities we have, especially
in terms of the following:

How can we ensure that the statements we make attract the defence of fair
comment?

How can we ensure that the statements we make attract the defence of honest
opinion?

Can we possibly attract the defence of qualified privilege for commenting in
an appropriate forum in the public interest?

Will a simple retraction serve to prevent a defamation suit, and if so, how
quick does it need to be?

Look forward to you giving us some guidelines.

Oliver
