That was funny. Regarding your question, I don't exactly know where the limit is but I guess that as long as they don't infringe any basic human being rights, they should be fine. I also would imagine that it depends on peoples' perception. In any case, it was interesting finding me rated... :) Probably the fact that they said I was good and evidently HOT (just kidding) made me see it not necessarily and intrinsically bad... More thoughts? Anybody with a cyberspace- law-policy background? Hernando?

What thoughts have ye on sites such as http://www.ratemyprofessor.com? Are there legal boundaries to what the site can allow? Are things said there contestable against the author and/or the site? Given relatively small numbers of evaluators per professor evaluated, I would presume there to be negative bias. Interestingly, however, the FAQ for that site in particular claims 60% positive ratings. -eg _______________________________________________ Air-l mailing list Air-l@aoir.org http://www.aoir.org/mailman/listinfo/air-l
