It would not, because there is absolutely zilch in the way of "show me all my entries in this particular comm" functionality on LJ. I would have to go through the entire thing, find each entry by me and delete or flag it by hand. That's a completely unfair burden to place on one half of the equation for the convenience of the other half. I have confidence that there is a viable answer to this problem that will not unduly burden or limit *either* side. I also imagine it will take time to work out. --ER _______________________________________________ dw-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.dwscoalition.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dw-discuss
