> I know a site now that is known by some here are they post both here and there. Approval first from moderator a former babbler. If a problem he kindly asks the person to behave or whatever. I get notifications of all the discussions in full. Was set up by a program computer anylist sp? Phillipa ps it's growing in leaps and bounds
I guess that's what I'm thinking - if it already exists, why try to reinvent it? My main problem with Babble is the sharing through FB and Twitter. When I post things to this site, that's fine, and whoever reads them, fine. But to reproduce my words w/o my consent? Not okay.To quote Bob on the copyright information link "How do copyrights work here?
My understanding is that when you write something, you (usually) get the copyright to it. It doesn't even have to include a copyright statement. There's a process by which you can registerthat copyright, but that's a somewhat separate issue. However, I want to be able to use these posts elsewhere. For example, on my Book Ideas page or in articles."
To be fair, that should now include Facebook and Twitter. Books, articles are one thing. Giving everyone access to reprint my words, totally different. Because it's not just Bob that's using it, it's everyone.
Off my soapbox now.
