Re: [mmox] mmox Digest, Vol 1, Issue 113

The key point relative to earlier comments is that Forterra is NOT EVER the clearinghouse for its customers..  That was the erroneous assumption.  An administrator could probably set whatever policy they wanted.

but i believe the sense of the comment was that the end user (distinct  
from the person who administers the service) is not allowed to upload  
arbitrary content.

my understanding of both OLIVE and there.com is that they both do not  
allow arbitrary content upload, but instead require someone other than  
the content creator approve (and transfer) the content.

but... i could be wrong.
