cutting and pasting content from the premium board. You have endeared yourself so much to Gene and his "sheep" that you might want to reconsider whether you want it to remain here.

I don't know what "The Goonies" is (or are?). I have no problem with his avatar, although I agree with those who find it "disgusting." He should be able to keep it if he likes it. I was simply pointing out that your copying and pasting content directly from Genespage to your page is a technical viloation of the copyright laws, and Mr. Swindoll appears to be aware of that as he constantly marshalls his page and removes such posts. I personally enjoy Sixpack and would like to see it continue.

if Genespage wants to contact me about removal of such sensitive information as a Goonies/avatar post, then they can contact me.

1. go drop $9.00 on a netflix membership
2. quit taking internet "copyright laws" so seriously.

Don't you? Surely you don't agree to something without reading it?

Shut it down over a post about an avatar of a fat kid dancing? It's not like DS posted something from the site that was some of your wonderful insider information found on the CL blogs.

Risk Analyst he shall be named.

I thought he was bullshitting as well so much for the fact I had to do a double take on the meaning of "endearing".

I think it should be a requirement for all new posters on Sixpack to do the truffle shuffle and post a pic or video of it in their first post. DS doesn't open the picket fence gate without the truffle shuffle.

in your post a violation as well? I know you didn't, but so many do. I find it hard to believe anyone would chase this.
