You scared me! I understood from the subject that the lawsuit against 
WMF suceeded.

Would the court have been so if it had been on the history (not 
oversighted)?
 From the bistro, i see the lawsuit was filed when 'bad content' was 
already on the history :s

Plus, they wanted the contact info of the anonymous editor, when the IP 
was publicy available. Linking that to a real person is to be done by 
the ISP, not the website. What they were expecting WMF to give them??

Even when the lawsuit was so odd, havign won are good news.
