  1. having got up way too early this am, I surfed over to "cycling forums.com" just to see what's there
    - I"m always looking for decent women's discussion.

    Anyway, They do have a direct gateway to AMB for their members, and everything posted to amb shows
    up is a BBS format. Here's the kicker tho: the board "looks like" it lists 3 moderators for AMB via
    the site. So if you come over from there you'd think it was moderated. Very bizarre, every single
    post shows up there too and we are all listed as "guests". Not sure if I like that.

    Not sure if I like it either, but I suppose we did post to a public forum, so it's not like it's
    copyright or anything. It just feels wierd that this whole mess we have going here is interesting
    enough for someone to bother copying it elsewhere. ;-)

    There isn't much moderating in any forum "over here" really. Once in a while they will chime in on something or say "Come on now, this is a friendly forum." Outside of someone bashing someone elses religion things usually don't get very heated though. There doesn't seem to be the "kiss my ass" mentality there, although once in a while...

    Doesn't seem to be too many post from within the cycling forum though. That's weird. I mean
    why bother?

    Plus the whole moderation thing....do they actually think...oh nevermind. Still not a good idea. I
    mean where would we antagonists post??

    I'm pretty sure that *any* text is implicitly copyrighted, at least in the US. If you wanted to give
    up your rights, you would have to explicitly place something in the public domain.

    I hope they're not presenting it as though it's theirs, which would be pretty rude. (I'm big on
    attribution.)

    In any case, it seems like a waste of effort, since google groups will let you search and post to
    any newsgroup:

    Well, except that by posting to Usenet, you are implicitly giving permission for what you write to
    be reproduced on millions of newsfeeds. There are not copyright issues with respect to providing an
    alternative feed, even a cens^H^H^H^Hmoderated one.

    easily amused.

    I think there's a line there somewhere. If for some reason, someone took one of my usenet postings
    and published it in a book without getting my permission first ... I'm pretty sure I could sue them.
    I'm 100% sure I'd be very unhappy that they did so.

    I guess, to me, there's a difference between saying, "we're providing a mirror to this usenet group
    for your convenience," and, "we're providing this discussion group." I'm big on giving credit where
    credit is due, and particularly on not taking credit where it's not due.

    This is a special link because it contains a picture of one of the cyclingforums moderators (who
    claim to be AMB moderators).
