In my first edition I used some material from an obituary in the Guardian and got caught. They said ok retrospectively but since then I take care.
An Old Blue caught me out and wrote an uncomfortable letter. For me that is.

Still don't think it's right to ask for other people's posts to be removed (unless they're offensive / defamatory etc.). It affords everyone an unwarranted right to censor anything in a thread they've started.

Threads cannot be 'owned' on a public forum.

Just my opinion, you understand.

Thank you so much Julian! I have just had a re-read of the limerick thread and would recommend all you other lovers of wierd wacky verse to do the same - it will make you smile, I think - especially the apologies for prosody!!

Careful Dave ! You'll start a whole string of golf jokes, not to mention jokes of a somewhat 'blue' nature.
