OK, well I've removed the bit about removing illegal/unwanted
material. FWIW, we *will* remove such unwanted content, otherwise we
could easily become an online archive for pr0n/warez etc. which will
certainly not do our reputation any good.
I've left the reasons why we won't remove/edit other messages as-is
for now. That's the main part I find myself explaining on a regular
basis so removing it defeats much of the purpose of the page. I'm
happy to hear suggestions for changes or improvements of course.
