Evening all,

Now I know this sounds like a stupid question but I had a strange email from Tigerkoi, he said that I shouldn't refer back to his thread. This got me thinking, does he even have the rights to say that? And whose thread is it?

Cheers

Charlie

From a mods perspective you have as much right to reply to any thread you wish, as long as those replys do not breach any of the sites T&C's or Rules of Posting.

Charlie, you seem to have an issue reading.
If you would like me to publish the full contents of that email on this thread I will do so. Then everyone can see what I wrote. Would you like that?

It's not my thread. It was a thread that I started. Big difference.

BTW - I can put the contents of my mail up here, but you can't. My copyright.

Not wishing to be pedantic, BUT if your mail was sent via the PH mail system you might not have copyright! smile

Plus, if you were threatening to post your email (as you've done above), then I suspect you might be relinquishing your copyright wink

As an OP you don't 'own' a thread.

That's what I inferred. I didn't say you had, nor did I infer that you didn't have copyright.

I'll let you know if you don't, but you'll know that anyway. wink

And just to clarify any potential confusion that anyone might be having.

As Al says above - everyone has the right to post on any public thread, as long as they are within the PH Ts and Cs. And no-one can dictate otherwise, except the PH management team and mods in given circumstances.
