I have the upmost respect for anyone and everyone that gives the same in return. A threat to teach me respect falls on deaf ears.

Erwin. I respectfully submit the information you asked for in this new thread since someone once again closed my thread after making a statement that requested or warranted a reply.

Now...since I have my facts straight....does anyone have something to say to me? I do not expect to hear what I should but I am just making sure that you are aware of the facts that I have been making that nobody but me botherd to get rather than quote things without the proper research.

At the risk of sounding like a smart-a** if anyone was getting a law degree....this would have been easy information to find and be aware of.

and filbert.....I am aware of your status here and am not trying to rake fingernails across the chalk board but you have treated me like shi* since day one and it is not warranted. I envite anyone to do a search of my posts so you can see the treatment I have received from you. I have asked questions and patiently waited for days while receiving useless replies like "why would you want to do that" or "search for it" like I haven't tried already, only to see later someone else ask the same thing and receive immediate help. Thank you for the lack of respect that you feel everyone but me deserves.

I have never done anything other than read everything in site and learn despite this treatment. Every now and then I express my opinions like in the other thread only to have the threads turn into something else. My original comments were my opinions of the contest and had no intentions of it turning into a ++++ing match over laws but it did and I will refrain from any further comment on the matter of copyright laws since my point has been driven home.

I will not stir this pot anymore because it is obvious that no matter what I say, it will be dismissed as B.S. whether it is factual or not.

so thank you for allowing me to prove my point and have a nice day.
