If the author creates the subject matter he is responsible whether
knowingly or not.

As this discussion is about accountability, I suggest removing the 
"responsible" part from that line.  The author creates the message
content.

As we move down the distribution chain, we find that the publisher 
may be identified as the responsible party as he/she can, to some 
degree, do content "approval" and identify the author.
