And the copyright does *not* have to be protected by including some sort of copyright notice. The court has instead held that the copyright is something you must explicitly give up, rather than being something you must explicitly reserve. I don't have any problems with stuff being quoted that I write either, although when someone like Chris wants to take a 'snippet' from a rather innocent discussion here and make something more of it in r.g.c.c I don't deem that appropriate nor acceptable. I assume that he either has a fake account here, or someone that is forwarding everything to him?
