Terms

last updated May 25, 2026

By browsing, viewing, reading, touching, whispering to, or being in the vicinity of someone who is viewing this website you agree to the rules below.

Comments and replies#

  • Submit only content that is yours to submit. No paywalled material, private correspondence, nor other people's copyrighted work.
  • Anyone can read your notes so be mindful.
  • I may remove notes that are abusive, off-topic, spam, illegal, or in breach of these terms.
  • Your IP is logged for 30 days when you submit a note or reply. See the privacy policy.
  • You retain ownership of your notes, and you agree to grant the site a perpetual, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to keep them attached to the post they were left on and to display them in the public comment rail.

Accounts#

  • A username with no password is unreserved, anyone can write notes and replies under it.
  • A username with a password is reserved to whoever knows the password.
  • The author badge next to a username is the only indication of the admin account. All other usernames without this badge are not affiliated with this website regardless of what they may claim.
  • Squatting a username with the intent to impersonate someone or to deny it to its prior holder is a breach of these terms. The intent of password-less writing is to remove the burden of needing an account for such a minor online interaction.

Content licence#

Posts (excluding quoted excerpts and obvious attributions) are copyright of the post's author. They are licensed to you for personal, non-commercial reading. You may quote a paragraph or two with attribution and a link back to the post. To reproduce a whole post, syndicate it, or use it in a commercial work, get my written consent.

I may revise these terms. The updated date at the top reflects the last change. Continued use after a change means you accept the new version.
