sorry wasn't clear, I gave one last night before I went to bed. Can't say who or why cause we got some posts deleted over it.

Morning all
I was reading about these copyright lawsuits and I got to wondering, since my user name has a manufacturers name and model number in it does it need to be changed?
What say you PW's
162 points away from the next silver anyone.....anyone ???
We Mods have actually been pondering that, too. Technically Kahr could zap you for it (or for trademark use anyway), but it would very much surprise me if they do. Right now the rush of lawsuits appear to be over reposted articles, even just snippets. I would think proper citation would cover a person, but most people are pretty lax about citing things on the internet these days. We need to make Strunk & White's The Elements of Style mandatory reading!!!Morning all
