Yes, that may be the best way around it?

As I mentioned earlier, I only included it because I saw similar "warnings"
on other military pages & thought we may have had a Duty of Care to point
out it could be a bad thing to do, so I'm happy to ditch it altogether.

it appears it may not even be necessary?

>From the OSMF "Terms of Use":

" *You are responsible for your own actions:* You are legally responsible
for your edits and contributions, so for your own protection you should
exercise caution and avoid contributing any content that may result in
criminal or civil liability under any applicable laws. Although we may not
agree with such actions, we warn editors and contributors that authorities
may seek to apply other countries’ laws to you, including local laws where
you live or where you view or edit content. OSMF generally cannot offer any
protection, guarantee, immunity or indemnification"

Maybe just include a link to that statement?

But on the subject of altering / deleting things, just how do you "cross
something out" (correct it) in a proposal? I've seen it done on other
proposals, but I can't find a way of doing so?

Thanks
