Web site legal disclaimers

[Ken Poshedly <poshedly -at- bellsouth -dot- net>]

Good morning all (at least here in metro Atlanta),

I am looking for some boilerplate wording for a 
legal disclaimer to place on an organization's home page.

As with many other organizations, this one 
includes links to a wide variety of outside web 
sites and web pages that include useful 
information related to the subject matter at 
hand. But those "other" web pages and web sites 
are obviously NOT under the control of the 
organization I need to help with the disclaimer.

(A guy whose page is linked to my organization's 
home page has a running feud with another guy 
about the subject matter and temporarily placed a 
rather libelous statement on his own web page. In 
particular, he said "[So-and-so] is a f-----g 
idiot!" The statement was taken down after a day 
or so, but the "offended party" now threatens to 
sue all ? including those who have hyperlinks to 
this guy's web page. My own attorney tells me his 
case against anybody other than the primary 
offender is weak at best, because every judge in 
the land knows there is no way to daily police 
every web page link to every other web page link. 
And yes, the "primary offender" has been put on 
notice that his link is to be dropped if this occurs again.)

I already know what the disclaimer should state, 
but really would like to see samples of how other 
organizations have word their own versions.

Some people NEVER grow up, eh?
