Thanks, Gordon and Dien...

I am going to talk with Boyd and ask for his blessing and then I shall proceed accordingly.

Hi,

Ideas can't be copyrighted, only the way the idea is expressed can be copyrighted (I believe).

I "got" my idea originally from a couple of **** sites (Mark's Bookmarks being one of them), and even included adult-site touches like a topsites list and a "TGP," and was rather pleased at how well they worked as part of a mainstream site. :-) I mention this as a way of saying that I don't own any rights to the idea of a forum message digest.

Best,

-Boyd
