I'm sorry Magu, that is NOT an option for the reasons I've already stated. If you no longer wish to contribute to this forum, that is your choice - just don't log-in here anymore.

Hi Melanie,

When a user click on the link "Register", the Forum Rules are displayed
and the registering user has to select "I have read, and agree to
abide by the MELabs PICBASIC Forums rules".

Could you please add to these rules that if you post something on this forum
it becomes public domain and what you have posted will not be removed unless
it violates the forum rules.

* * *

This is not a rule but could be helpful:

Users are responsible for their own privacy.
Do not post phone numbers, postal addresses, e-mail addresses with your
name or any information that could link to you. If you do so, it is at your
own risk.

The same forum rules should be visible in the link FAQ.

Best regards,

Luciano

I know, but where do you draw the line...

Brings to mind the story of the American woman (it had to be!) who put her pet dog in the microwave to dry-off and wondered why it died. She then sued (successfully!!!) the manufacturer because they didn't explicitly say in the manual not to put your pet cat or dog in it!

Children all over the world are forever being told don't give out personal details, and what do the adults do... they give them youtube (I just love the nerd with the dry-ice bomb who blew himself up) and myspace and forums and the like...

The world is full of stupid people... have we really got to spend our lives holding their hand?

Hi Melanie,

The real purpose is to protect the owner of the forum against unpleasant surprises.

My preferred one:

Melanie,
"Brings to mind the story of the American woman (it had to be!)"
Why would it have to be American?

But we do have an old saying over here-

Anything you say can and WILL be used against you.

The world is full of stupid people... have we really got to spend our lives holding their hand?

Yes, right to the edge of the cliff.

I just spent the last...oh....hour or so reading this "Train Wreck" of a thread.
(and the associated like to the scene of the crime)

All I gots to say is this:

Some of you involved in this thread are quite possibly the most kind and generous people I have EVER came across in my entire life. You should all get an extra brick for your hourse in heven...Really. (I wish I could say that I would have acted the same....Gives me something to think about.)

Some of you (And you know who you are) Should be so ashamed of yourself Its hard to imagine you had the guts to even come back and say "I am gone". Its no wonder why you would want your post removed. If I had STOLEN someones hard work and took advantage of their good nature I would feel the same way.

I know that this thread is basically dead. No post for about a month. I also know that my contribution here is "basically" (pun intended) useless. But I just wanted to voice my support for the many and my total disdain for the few.

And I think a special Kudos should goto TJ for making the attempt!

And a big thanks to Melanie for using her super powers to make sure these threads are documented fair and correctly. Its damn nice to know someone like her has your back. We should all send you a pound of good coffee beans! (keep those super powers going!)

Best to all...Who deserve it.
