[IMC-pgh-editorial] ACORN ad

[Mary I Hart]

My question was really less about whether ACORN was a good organization
than it was about whether we have the responsibility of checking to see if
such postings are legit- that is, do they pay minimum wage.  Something I
thought was kind of similar came up before- someone poster requesting
donations, and I wondered whether we had any responsibility for
ascertaining whether it was a legit request, as opposed to a scam.

So I guess in general I'd want to know if we can come to some consensus
(unless this is already covered somewhere) about whether our moving a post
to the appropriate location and displaying it suggests that we believe it
is legit and, if that's not the case, if we should have a disclaimer
somewhere.

Thanks-

Mary
