Wash or not, afaik, it's fact. If a legal expert can state otherwise then they are free to correct me.

Well that depends on what you agreed to when you joined, at CF we have a clause in our terms like this ;

You will acknowledge and accept that all content posted on this site becomes the property of the site owners, you acknowledge that You are the author of each message posted and CF are the publishers.

But yes, in the absence of such terms your post is owned by yourself and should not be reproduced elsewhere (I believe this is a dodgy area as far as search engines are concerned).
