I think that's all the characters I can type. Now that I've typed them, put it into an email and sent it to the list, please do not ever use these characters or I will come after you in court, at your office and maybe even on the way to your appointment at 3:45 with the guy trying to help you with that issue related to your golf game.

I seriously think that this topic has gotten way goofy, even by my standards. If you don't want people to use what you write on the list either just send questions or send your answers directly to a person with the legal blather that says it's confidential. However, don't post to the group if you don't want them to use it. The whole purpose of this list is to make the life of Frame users better and this discussion doesn't do so.

If it's in the public domain (which this list really is and so is the web at large) then it's likely tough to claim ownership. There are exceptions to the rule, but if someone links to a URL that is available to the public and wants to make it a reference point to go to for help, so be it.

I think that most, if not all documentation carries the standard "if it works right, great, and if not then don't blame us" that legal wants. Relax people. It's just a link. It's just content that helps out people. If someone wants to connect to the list via a tool that is used internally or externally let them.

I suggest that anyone who does not want to have content used by others stop sending suggestions to the list. Nice and easy.

There's no point in posting the forum elsewhere as I get the results in a google search. (hmmmm, they have money, can we sue?) If people need to link to a valuable resource (read into that "postings on the list") then let them do so. That's what it is here for.

Now, can we get back to doing real work?
