The previous poster is leading you A-Stray.

Consult the threads on "intellectual property." Powerful discussions and opinions, some of which are still in legal limbo.

Look Buster!!!! If it were worth the effort...you would have marketed it already...but your inner-soul knows that no-one-gives-a-damn....or will pay a plug-nickle for your perambulating-pablum....

Just say, (in the wildest hypothetical sense) that Max,Joe,Dick,Susan are able to garner "a widow's mite" and score a publishing claim.... after years and years of gleaning, and gathering from the folk traditions....are you one to claim interest on the cash, checks and charity you have donated along the way?

Petty, petty people...filled with delusions of worth.
