Please quote the law, statue, case, common, or admiralty,
that renders my Copyright invalid? We're in private law here.
Obviously I can only copyright that which I author. I do.
Obviously my copyright cannot apply to that which another authored.
Therefore, it is to be understood that my copyright notice applies
to the portions of a posting I authored, not quoted. The quotes
still belong to the author. Further, as copyright law has evolved, it
has been legally construed that EVERY original work is AUTOMATICALLY
copyrighted even without a copyright notice, unless there is something
which indicates that the person has released their rights. I use my own
form of copyleft on my website, but my e-mails and usenet news postings
are copyrighted.

You may need to research copyright law.
I have made no claims to your words.
I specifically disclaim copyright of anything authored by another person,
past, present, and future.

not until it becomes official policy of the mailing list owner.

...speaking of which, I think it's time for a ruling that
religious issues either are or are not approriate in this forum,
from the forum owner. 

... signature or no, a statement of SUPPOSED spiritual
truth has been made by a participant of this forum, and
if I ever again see ANY religious postings here, I will
begin rebutting them voluminously until religion is
excommunicated from this forum. 

"--" separating body from signature, does not make
any difference about the SUBJECT of the words written,
and this is a LINUX forum, nothing else.
