    Well like the "how to sheets" that I post, many parts of them I create word for word myself, then there are some that I have went online, looked in tech magazine etc and found information and taken bits and pieces and added my own words, I consider none of these to be copyright material unless you count someone taking mine and posting it as it as theirs.
    If I were to fine what I considered really good instructions and How to material I would post as is but with the author's name and the it is copyright material and where it came from.
    Something like this very conversation has come up between my instructor and the school where he teaches, he makes up many of the same things for his 9 class he teaches and there are others he sub. in which he does the same, he has asked that his papers be copyrighted so other teachers cannot use them without his permission, and take them as their own instead of making up their own sets as they should and are required.
    I hope some day to create a web site with all of mine on it right now am close to 200 of them but need to learn more html code before I do.
