Sigh. This reminds me of the old adage: Never get involved in an argument with the insane. You're not going to win, and it's not that much fun to watch Choate froth at the mouth. There are two issues here: Implied consent, and fair use. That Choate can't, or refuses to, understand them speaks for itself. -Declan On Thu, Apr 12, 2001 at 07:56:37PM -0500, Jim Choate wrote:

Okay, Jim, let's test your tortured interpretation of the law.
I'll take one of your posts that's 201 lines long and post it on my website, properly attributed. You sue me, and we'll watch what happens. Ready?
I never said I had intent to sue anyone. I only said that I would not, and don't, intend to give commercial permission for the reproduction of my words. And I specifically used you as an example. I also asserted that no such permission is given by participating in the CDR, implicitly or explicity. Contrary to your assertion.
Having you hop around like a frog on a hot plate is quite entertaining enough in its own way.
Thank you for the free advertising.
