No, they did not PM me or anything. I am just wondering what others think.

if you quote me in your signature, I will sue you for plaigurism.

Could you at least spell plagiarism correctly when you do?

Yea, I'd like to be quoted in someone's signature (other than in reference to this thread), but I fear that my contributions to threads are not profound enough -- or stupid enough.

Fixing quotes should not be allowed.

I cannot alter GWB's speech and broadcast it - although I think it could be funny. Then again he seems to err in a way of his own that doesn't need changing. :laugh:

And you had to make this political for what reason? :disgust:

You libs always talk about needing compassion and acceptance for everyone, but you sure are quick to bash on Bush or other republicans.... :roll:

No, you say something on a public forum, it becomes part of the public domain...

Yea, nor have I.

I was talking with a co-worker a couple of days ago that got me started on this topic. I asked if he posted on any forums, and he said that he stopped a few years back due to internet forum posts being used as character defining evidence in court.

No, I don't have a source to site.
