though i don't know the story/incident and you don't have to revive it, i still can't help giggling at your comment. i'm sure it wasn't intentional.

Thank you, Ann! I appreciate the head's up!
Now, I'm giggling about you needing a reminder...
I haven't tried to re-use anything... (grinning at you!)

I have all of my Bubblews stories on my computer. I rewrite them, touch them up and use them here. It no problem because they are not on line anymore. I rewrite not to change them but to improve them...@Gina145

@PainsOnSlate I do the same. Sometimes I completely rewrite them in which case there isn't a problem.

Yes thanks very much for the reminder Admin. These sources can be valuable in discussion making, but in the right context according to myLot guidelines.

@GoAskAlice I have some saved Bubblews posts that I might rework and post here. I'd probably say something like: "This is an updated version of a post some of you may have seen on Bubblews (or 'the site that will not be named.')"

@hereandthere When you see something that looks like an interesting thing to share, be sure it says somewhere near the end that it is public domain. It is free to share since the copyright expired or the person who originated it made it available to everyone in public domain. If you don't see public domain anywhere on what you want to share, it isn't free to share and the author of the article is getting paid for that article and you using any of its content, is stealing.

Thank you. One myLotter suggested to me that the content is quite acceptable if you rewrite it in your own words.Was this information incorrect?

Well, yes, and no. It's a bit subjective I suppose. It would depend on how re-written it was.
