Replies to @BillMcGev:

  • JoeBeOneJoeBeOne: @BillMcGev I still think a "wet shave" with a one-blade safety razor and decent creme is perfect
  • CopyrightLibnCopyrightLibn: @BillMcGev (A lot more sympathy for some of the other "oddities of law" she mentions than for the author, basically.)
  • CopyrightLibnCopyrightLibn: @BillMcGev I have limited sympathy for people who have the ability & opportunity to read sthg like that contract before signing, and don't.
  • JoeBeOneJoeBeOne: @BillMcGev thank you, sir!
  • neilmrichardsneilmrichards: @BillMcGev @HilliconValley We can beat them, Bill! #vppa
  • neilmrichardsneilmrichards: @BillMcGev Ha! You're right, though a community of people (unlike a robot) is comprised of living things.
  • phutatoriusphutatorius: @BillMcGev @JoeBeOne Not a country, but it's a sentient being, so I vote proper noun.
  • howiewolfhowiewolf: @BillMcGev the Internet? Isn't that the thing twitter links to sometimes?
