If it is something received in the email or taken from an internet site I always expect that proper credit will be given to the author if known. If it is original work from another known humor source I would far prefer that a link to the piece be provided here rather than have the actual work put in a message unless prior permission is obtained from the author. If a link to a funny piece is put on this message board, it must be to a G Rated site, any others will be deleted.:>) We try to monitor the board for any violations of copyright issues. Did that answer your question or have I missed what you were asking :>)
