How does this relate as far as RP threads on journaling sites go? Which may be where a good bit of 'we wanna keep everything ever' requests may come from - storing all of that 'history'. Who 'owns' the comments in an LJ community, for example? The community owner, maintainers, or the people who've posted the comments? IE: who gets to say 'yes you can publish this' or 'no you can't, but thank you anyway'?
