FAQ on Comments:
The PeaceSmiths, Inc. web-site is a new experiment. We have decided to keep the comments opened up for sharing and reflection. Though, we do review comments before posting. At this time, our policy is to not advertise events that are not PeaceSmiths-related activities. We are also very careful about where we link, and we do ask you to use your own judgment and care in following links from this site (we can’t be responsible for outside links.) We accept comments which: are related to PeaceSmiths issues or events; do not contain hate-messages; do not promote non-PeaceSmiths related activities; link to PeaceSmiths-related websites. Thanks.
Please submit calendar items or links via e-mail for review to: peacesmiths@yahoo.com. peacesmiths at yahoo dot com.
