There is a large collection of fun, funny, interesting material here. The blog owner admits to publishing lots of uncredited material - forwarded in emails etcetera and states willingness to link-credit or remove if contacted by copyright owners.
There is fun, creative stuff published here. We would be publishing more emailed/forwarded to us stuff too if any of us felt comfortable with this approach to blogging and publishing. Partially out of fear of consequences and partially out of consideration of property rights we limit ourselves to the public domain, creative commons, and other ways of permission at the risk of blogging blah-vity. This is part of why I blog so infrequently. At my age I could much more often find something weird and wonderful on the WWW to promote through re-publishing with credit/linkage than capture my own fleeting thoughts of wonder at being still alive.
Oh well, this weblog raises an important question to keep up with. Creativity and innovation require 'telling the story around' and sparking collaboration, cooperation, dialectic, and re-creation anew. But folks also appear to need or crave protection these days.
Just keep wondering and questioning - just because it is more FUN. ~ Chammy
