Maybe I run with it awhile then.

I don't mind others using my comments (without attribution even) in taglines. I've borrowed a few and notified the original posters when I have.

Probably many of us have seen some of our phrases used by others both inside this forum and outside, and without attribution. Certainly many of us have heard our words in use by others in the workplace, and without attribution. It might be tough to enforce copyright for a neolexage or a phrase, and it might be that the rules of language are such that we should have no exclusive rights to our individual creations unless the creations are an entirety, that is, a complete essay, book, or other such complete unique composition.
