Hello Tony,

Thank you for writing to Yahoo! Answers.

Your content was deleted for insulting or ranting content.

In Yahoo! Answers, you may not demean or insult others or post tirades
directed towards persons or groups.

On review of your case, we have decided not to reinstate your content.

Please refer to the Answers Community Guidelines and Yahoo! Terms of
Service for further information on participating in Yahoo! Answers.

We appreciate your contribution to making Yahoo! Answers a valuable
knowledge search product.

We also understand that you have objected to material posted on Yahoo!
Answers on defamation grounds. Please note that as a general matter,
Yahoo! Answers is not in a position to know the truth or falsity of
statements posted on Yahoo! Answers, and therefore, is not in a position
to evaluate defamation claims. Your complaints may be directed more
appropriately to the individuals who posted the allegedly objectionable
statements. If you are not aware of the identity of this individual,
please be advised that Yahoo! Answers complies with valid third-party
subpoenas seeking information that pertains to the identities of given
subscribers, within the limits of the federal Electronic Communications
Privacy Act, 18 U.S.C. ? 2701 et seq., and state law.

We recognize that you may be disappointed with this response; however,
please recognize that it is consistent with federal law. Congress
enacted the Communications Decency Act of 1996 ("CDA"), which, in
recognition of the unique role of online service providers such as
Yahoo! Answers, provides that online service providers may remove, edit,
or not remove or edit content, in their sole discretion. Simply stated,
in general, this federal statute protects online service providers from
civil liability for third-party statements, or for the removal or
failure to remove such statements. See also, Zeran v. America Online,
Inc., 129 F.3d 327 (4th Cir. 1997), cert. denied, 524 U.S. 937 (1998).
