Will the real ToS please stand up...

THIS is the CVS repository with the actual tos.bml in it. The current one is actually rev 1.7! I haven't had time to do the diffs, or look them over. One little statistic... "Changes since 1.6: +46 -1 lines"

Now, while the other file may, in fact, be the same content, legal-tos.bml is not what is displayed, tos.bml is.

In other news, people are starting to have to submit to the new regime in order to log in and post, apparently.

I am not sure why this sets my teeth on edge. Maybe it's all the stuff about credit card "changes", click through licenses, and loyalty oaths coming together to tick me off - yet another place where I have to dance with weasels lawyers to live my life. (At $Job the $ParentCompany has an overabundance of BS procedures in place to comply with Sairbanes-Oxley. It's overkill, IMO, because they're applying it to systems that have no (zero) financial data on them. All because of overzealous lawyers, again.)

Edit: Weird. The web client is being very flaky tonight...
