[QUOTE="Man in the Funny Hat, post: 4018626, member: 32740"] Say rather that everything you write in a public forum is effectively grist for the mill of [I]anybody[/I] who reads it, not just the owners of the website where you plastered it for open consumption. Add to that the fact that it is THEIR forum and they can establish whatever rules they like for its use especially if their rules limit their liability and potentially enhance their grist mill. I am at a loss to understand why anyone would think it [I]should[/I] be different, or expect it to [I]be[/I] any different. If you have ideas that you don't want other people to pick up, formally publish and profit from, then you shouldn't be posting them for others to do just that. Not just on Gleemax but ANYWHERE, whether their legalese for signing up to post AT ALL specifically says so or not. Is this actually a concept so alien that it requires page after page of discussion to make it clear? [/QUOTE]
