  Re: Stop them at #3

  "I figure you don't need to mention it, they already stated that the call may be recorded so they can't be unaware that the call may be recorded."

  Give it a try this fall. Most clubs have a grace period of a few weeks to allow new curlers to give it a try without having to join and pay dues.
  
  Honestly it was the only sport I watched during the Olympics and being Canadian I'm sure admitting that has probably broken some law that the Hockey cartel has gotten on the books.

  Re: Re: SPAM

  Very cool to get some insight into that aspect.
  
  I wish other sites had your commenting system, it's one of the best I've seen. I love how nothing gets deleted. You can read a 2 year old story with comments and see the context.

  They are free to create their own works, and even sample within the fair use doctrine.
  
  You keep bringing this up. Please define fair use doctrine and how it can be applied in this situation so it works for everyone involved.

  Thank you
