Of Some Concern To Our Group

[Mrs Bonk]

How do others in our group feel about our posts being stolen and used in
online forums? I must say I was quite annoyed to see it, I assumed my post
would only come here or to the archives, some sites seem to copyright the
posts - not on I say. On my search for signs of our missing posters I found
several sites doing the same, they made it look as though WE posted to their
forums. Should someone complain or is it acceptable practise?
This one for example http://www.janitorialservice.us/ (I am NOT spamming
this company but see no other way to point to them)
over on the left is the Cleaning Service Forums where I can see our thread
titles including "Best of Bonk "which iirc was by winnie ho, she could have
said MRS Bonk and made life easier for me but still all done and dusted now.
To be quite frank I find it all rather deceitful. What say you?

I don't think complaining would do any good, but I don't find it to be
an acceptable practice, either.
Most of these sites do not honor a posters no archive request, either
in the post body or the headers, either.

It's been going on for quite a whiles now, Mrs. B. and I daresay there is
not much to be done about it. If you google my name you'll see a whole
bunch of my Usenet posts "archived" on various discussion boards, same with
yours and many others'...

Frex some of my rec.travel posts appear on such places as
www.british-expats.com , why I don't know as I am neither British or an
ex - pat...

I agree with you, it's a somewhat sneaky practice. I frankly don't know why
these boards have to resort to "harvesting" posts from Usenet groups. I
don't know what the "legal" ramifications of such practices are...IIRC
Usenet posts are not "owned" by anyone and I guess may be disseminated in
most any matter.

You're not the Gregory Morrow who used to play for the Boston
Patriots? Is he British? Could it be that you suffer from amnesia
after being bonked too many times? If you're not Gregory Morrow, I
think you should apologize to his fans at www.british-expats.com
and change your name.

I never played for a sports team and I am not British...

I think you're at least half right. If you were British, you would
have denied being a soccer whizz.

Do you know anyone who knew you before your amnesia? If not, why
not offer your autograph to some Pats fans? If they confirm that
you're not *the* Gregory Morrow, you can get your name changed in
Minnesota with no questions asked.

I agree with Nan and Gregory. Doesn't seem right but not much we can
do I guess.

I'll admit that quite frankly I'd rather change my *sex* than my
*name*...except perhaps if Choreboy could assist me in the matter.
