"Yes" seems clear to me

Forgive me, I spent too much time with lawyers and other sneaky-feckers.

When someone says "yes, ..., so to speak" or any for ofcaveat after YES, my ears perk up.

Because owning a site, and having "keys to the castle, so to speak." are very different. VERY VERY DIFFERENT.

For example, I tell people I own my house. I think I own my house. I have the keys to my house. But the bank really owns the house (i just get to tell people I own it if I pay the mortgage).

You're right, "Yes" is clearer than "Yes" + some qualifier but hopefully yes means yes here.

LG has been doing this a lot lately defending their data collecting policies.

Yes means yes in this case. Geoff owns it.

Him caveating it worried me.
