Summary

Why all the above legalese? We strive to provide the most creative, interesting, accurate and ethical content in our sites. As we have grown, we believe we have gained credibility and earned the trust of our viewers. Being trusted carries a great weight. We believe it is important for viewers to know and consciously accept the risks they face. But you need to know what they are. As we expand it is not physically possible to conduct the complete thorough due diligence of all information we present. That is a reality of growth and it is important that you as a valued viewer know, that while we do our very best, there are potential risks of inaccuracies, misrepresentation, or failure to perform by advertisers or contributors. We want you to know and be mindful of what you read here or anywhere else, and we don't want to be liable for things that are beyond our span of control. That might be a reason to get smaller, but for now the legalese seems to be the most prudent thing to do.

Regards,
