LICRA v. Yahoo!
Thanks for your comment on the Appeal Court judgment. I am aware that the section I cite is not the only reason that the appeal was dismissed (three judges felt that the court had no jurisdiction over the French parties; three judges felt that the case was no longer ripe as the French parties had no intention of enforcing the French order and in any case Yahoo! had changed its policies to substantially comply). However, as the case was argued on First Amendment grounds, I think the courts observation as regards to the extent of First Amendment protection is relevant in general, even if it were not decisive in this case.

Canadian election results
Since the CBC definition of "elected" is arbitrary (it does not mean that enough votes have been counted for a candidate to be elected), this should be avoided on Wikipedia. I am using data from the Elections Canada web site to update Wikipedia. Andrew_pmk | Talk 03:27, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I know. What I said is that CBC calls candidates "elected" even if it is possible (but unlikely) that another candidate could be elected. Andrew_pmk | Talk 03:33, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
