Don't be sorry, communication takes as long as it takes

The direct mandate thing, I suppose you're right. When it comes to copyright though, I know in my country there is no legal requirement to state that you own copyrights in order for them to be established. Simply the act of creating an original work means you have a copyright on your production. At least that's my understanding

And all of that's a bit of an aside really. Thought I would just add it in. Complex issues...

The reward pool is plundered, it invites abuse, which I think all of us who post here regularly do in a way. Downvoting some and others not for the same thing is just not the way to go, is what I think. So I opt for no downvotings at all. But this is a never ending debate here.

I have also never downvoted any account, just doesn't sit right with me. Though, I've never seen anything posted that's abhorrent or hateful or the like, quite possibly because of the work that HW does

I don't know...

It's good to talk about though
