I respect the rules here. I don’t excerpt, the odd time I write something that is worth posting. I link, yes, because the one thing every writer wants is readers.

Thank you for that. I don’t think there are any complaints about the links. I’ve certainly read Jim Robinson posting that is fine.
Thank you :)
It’s a fine line to walk, right? I mean, write something, edit it, do all the research and you are proud of it. You want to share it with like minded people or use it to open the odd eye here and there. Yet you have to respect the venue and the owner of it, while also respecting your own rights as the creator of this limping bit of prose.
I would like the option to excerpt things I want to keep copyright on - initial ideas that may eventually become a column or chapter in a book. I’ve had ideas stolen from me in the past, and that hurts, massively. They may be deformed children, but they are mine.
