Re: FLASH: Copyright on list messages

[Russell E. Unger]

Sorry to jump in on this one, gang, but I think that everyone should simply

follow a (my) mother's advice:


If you don't want someone to hear you say it, don't.  If you don't want

someone to see you wear it, don't.  If you're that bothered by whether or

not messages are going to be re-displayed, simply don't write them.


Although, I've seen some really good discussion, it just stands to reason

that it's pretty easy to avoid anything that you don't want to have happen

by simply not participating.  Of course, if you want to waste the time and

money on a copyright case....well, you can figure out the rest of that

sentence for yourself (I don't want someone to hear me say it).


That's my $.02, and it's ONLY my opinion; not anything that should be

considered factual.
