How do you use, or plan to use, your copy and pasting privileges?

As I am sure you all know, at 500 posts we get the ability to copy and paste here at MyLot. I was wondering how do you use or plan to use that ability? I haven’t used it much until now. Today though I realized that since I have a new job, with internet access, this ability will come in handy. My new bosses don’t mind if I surf a bit as long s I get all my work done, but I don’t want to sit on MyLot all day, but with the copy and pasting ability, I can write up a subject in Word (I’m doing it now), then pop on to MyLot and start a discussion, or reply to something in just a few seconds since I have already typed it up. How so (or will) you use it?

Hi DarkDancer,
I have no idea how to cut and paste of copy and paste, I don't understand much about computer and I want to learn how to do that so good luck in all you do with your computer.

I havent used the copy and paste facility yet,but I am sure that I am entitled to having reached over six hundred posts,but to use it has not entered my head,I do not know why,lol but I just dont think to use it,maybe it would be good if there was an article on the internet or a recipe that was particularly good.You are fairly lucky with your employers there,they usually object vehemently to any employees using the internet for personal purposes during working hours.

Yeah, it's a great job that way. In all ways really. As long as all my work gets done they don't care too much about that sort of thing...

i have already passed 500 posts but i haven't make good use of this privilege up to now. your discussion remind me of using it. i'm a teacher and often prepare questions for my students. now i can copy and paste here as discussions. oh, that's really a good idea. thank you for giving me such a good idea.

Glad to serve as a reminder! It sounds like you are in a good position to use your copy and paste to good benefit!

I'm still far away from 500 posts, but I think I'd primarily use copy and paste functionality to save my posts just in case something goes wrong. I've only ever "lost" a couple of posts here on myLot, but I always like to copy what I've written before posting anything in a form...it's what I do before posting a blog post or comment, for instance.
I think you've got a good plan there to make some extra money at work!

I think, that at least under legal terms there is a certain amount that you can do, as long as you link back to the rest, but I'm no lawyer and could easily be wrong about that....
