Eek's we're all doomed theory

somebody take those mushrooms off of this man

I think that means you think I'm a "sidekick". Have some Internet points.

As for some of the other interesting conversations that have gone around here in the last 48 hours or so, we don't own the copyright on things we post here. CUK does.

Unless one of the mods removes it. We don't remove quoted posts but Eek has actively removed his content - it won't be posted here again.

My point was that it would be entirely at your discretion, and that any talk about him exercising copyright to insist on its removal is unfounded. You and other mods, of course, can remove anything you want, and block anything you want. But the rest of us give up any rights to what we post here.

To be clear, I didn't post the quoted thread to wind eek up - I did it because I thought his posts had value and were useful to newcomers.

However, FaQQer has created a worthy alternative, so it would be nice if his could be made a sticky.

And as an independent observer (I don't think I'm a sidekick) of the opening post and title, it certainly came across that way.

One thing that is a common thread on here is for new posters / posters with a low post count to complain and betch like old men / women.

Often quite loudly should the answer be the one they didn't want to hear.

In addition they are also the sort of who contributes nothing of value at all.


Funny one that

Wasn't the opening post something like "for those looking for the deleted FAQs" and then quoting the deleted posts so that they wouldn't get lost since they were useful? I didn't read much of a wind up there

Glad to see that there's a reasonable alternative though - come May people are going to see their invoices short paid and need good advice.

And his sidekicks.

What do you think of the latest statements from majority of PS orgs declaring many roles outside?

Isn't the above the original statement? I thought it was, ho hum.

That's the start of this thread, created by semtex. The thread teapot created (which is who you quoted) wasn't IMVHO created to wind anyone up at all, but that thread has been removed anyway.

Unless you're saying semtex and teapot are the same poster

FTAOD, I'm Spartacus and so is my wife.

Given that you were the person who caused eek to delete the posts and leave the site that's a bit rich. While you may have intended to rescue the content it probably really wound him up.

As for the idea that a site gets full copyright of content, the statement is made on sites to protect themselves however no consideration is made and hence it's highly unlikely the term would stand up in law. Not deleting it could have been a very expensive court case.. and one that could easily have gone a very long expensive way. But it's nice to see know nothing low count posters think they know better than the regular posters.

Finally, personally I expect that when this is finalised Eek's worst case scenario may still be an understatement. HMRC have just delayed their making tax digital project by months by stating everyone is inside and watching them leave. if HMRC are doing that other departments are going to be expected to do the same and the rules do say that status needs to be continually checked.
