All of that is true.

My *principle* questions were: " ... Whyever was the " news " material on

the ASPIRES site in the first place? What is/was the relevance to adult

relationships? "

Was it simply you wanted to illustrate that some AS are killers? Why?

My *second* question(s) were:

" Why not now remove it? " [The AS killer stuff] " Make a stab anyway

at preventing a recurrence with someone else? "

By " recurrence " I meant the *unintended HARM* caused by information made

available on the ASPIRES web-site. Apart from the moral/social

responsibility issues, that's the stuff of Internet lawsuits.

I can't see any compelling reason for leaving *that* material on

ASPIRES. I can see a good reason for removing it. " Just me " of course.

It is your site.

The remainder of your answer to me mostly was about trafficking in

humans - a very serious problem worldwide, and an issue that should

concern us all. For the record: I am concerned.
