Re: The forum rules

Hi, just joined the other day and thought I would read the rules before posting. They seem a very fair and comprehensive set of rules, but I can understand the dilemma with the copyright issue. It sounds like unless the material is copyright already (ie a quote from a published book etc) then the site claims copyright over the material posted herein - have I got that right? In other words, if Badger wanted to write a book using the tips and comments on this forum, he could do so?

BTW, throughout the rules, you have referred to the site as 'Handmade', yet the title of the forum is 'Homemade'.

Blimey, I haven't looked at the rules in yonks. Yes, the forum used to be Handmade Life, before I decided that Homemade life sounded better. I really should change that sometime.

I suppose I could write a book, but I'm not going to, my life is way too busy and quite frankly I lack the talent.
