14k posts is extreme. Aside from famous, hi-profile celebs, there are not many libel suits. I think the average libel lawsuit takes 4 years.

"It's hard to win a libel case given the framework the US Supreme Court has erected in order to protect First Amendment interests, most notably in New York Times Co. v. Sullivan (1964) and Gertz v. Robert Welch Inc. (1974)."

Oh, I know. But libel does clearly extend to cyberspace, which was the main point of the question, I think ;)
