I'd give it to Max himself, and why? Just see what he posted in the last few days.

I expect this has been dealt with elsewhere, but I've not seen it. The current discussion on funny Mudcat threads identifies some items as being worth publishing. What are the legal implications of posting something on Mudcat? Does the writer still own the rights? or has Max miraculaously acquired ownership? Is there a difference according to the nationality of the poster? Anyone know?

Truth is, there are really only about a dozen real people on the mudcat. The rest are just my multiple personalities and artificial intelligence experiments.
