What would happen if all the people on this board actually met?

Could the real rewired please stand up.

Has it struck anyone else that rewired is an anagram of weirder, which is what this thread is getting?

rewired seems a genuine sort of guy (cue thanks from rewired?)...don't know where all these tribute rewired aliases have come from.

I love all the weirdness, it's the only reason I read this board. I never post (except Max's unemployment thread every now and then as that seemed a safe one to get involved with.)

I have nothing insightful or intelligent to add about the economy and stuff, so just read, very occaisionally learn something, but mostly stay for the weirdness!

Is it weird I find this thread not so weird?

I think you'll find you don't own them... I suspect if you inspected the T&Cs you signed up to they'll state that MSE owns the copyright to your words now.

Imagine that ... they own all our drivel. Marvellous. It's not us, it's their drivel now.

Hmph, actually, I don't think the terms and conditions can be enforced. There are technicallities as to how copyright can be assigned. Copyright can only be assigned in writing, signed by or on behalf of the assignor. I don't remember signing anything when I joined the forum.

In writing?
Many websites have such a clause in their sign up.
All online transactions are done by the click of a mouse.
Nobody signs for agreeing things online.
Click of a mouse .... rights gone.

So I could be wandering around WHSmith and see a 'The Very Best of Cleaver's MSE Posts' book on sale and there would be nothing I could do about it? And I'd make no money from it either?
