A most interesting and joyous hoot on "The Orchestra" was submitted by Ken. The thread was marked "CLOSED." Are we permitted to ask or know why?

The rules are to add links, not repeat something that exists, especially when it exists in multiple locations (in this case, it even exists in the Klarinet archives).
We forgot to delete it; it was under review by both GBK & I and we let it slip.

I'm guessing because it is or could be offensive to some readers. Not everyone enjoys the same kind of humor. I thought it was funny.

You folks need to read Mark's post. "THe Orchestra" post was deleted not because someone might take offense but because it was simply copied (plagiarized?) from somewhere else.

I did catch why Mark removed it, but I also wanted to comment that I found it hilarious.

It wasn't removed, but it was closed by me (while under consideration) and then edited by GBK.
From the rules:
"No copying of entire articles from other places unless you have explicit permission from the author and from me. Use a link instead. Short quotes ( < 30 words or about 3 sentences) are fine without contacting us."

It seems that as long as we aren't making money we can copy an article of any size, as long as the source is stated.
Not that I won't follow the forum rules...just a comment.

As Mark as stated numerous times on the bulletin board:
"...While it is for public consumption, it's just like a book - you retain rights & ownership. No one is supposed to copy your words verbatim unless you give explicit permission.
In the US copyright is automatically given as soon as your words are "published". Whether or not posting on a BBoard is considered "publishing" has been decided differently in different courts at different times, but generally it is always good to err on the side that everything written and disseminated on the Web is copyrighted..."
Thus, if you wish to copy the information you must ask permission from the author(s) of the material.
Short, attributed excerpts which adhere to the US "Fair Usage" exclusion are allowed...GBK

george,
Re: "You folks need to read Mark's post."... Mark added his post while I was writing mine so I didn't have the benefit of seeing his before adding my thoughts. In hindsight, it's clear why the post was deleted.
