Okay, perhaps my eyes were once again bigger than my stomach. Imagine that.
And for those who know me, that means they are damn BIG! ;^) One thing you
can never accuse me of however is being a sheep. I love to jump in the deep
end.
I'll admit that I was wrong. But not completely. Irrelevant? Far from it.
Fair use still allows me to copy and reproduce a literary work witout
permission, if you can call an email that with a straight face.
Man oh man, have we really become such a bullshit sue-happy society, worried
that someone else may use the same sentence fragments that they used, that
now folks insist upon bringing email into the court systems? Like a wise
man once said, kill the lawyers first.
