Hey, Dorkster, uh, er, Dickster, what do you think?  Would anyone of

to school?  Chapel Hill?

No, it's pronouned Wood-ah-metter, like in science ya know....


And believe me, in Swilly Stadium on Saturday, our Wood-o-meter was going
off the scale.  In fact, there was a severe lacquer shortage in Eastern
Mass on Saturday night......

    Hey I tm the phase "Take a suck pill"
    
    
    REK

    REK,
    
    With all due respects, I believe that this edition of ::Sports did not
    carry that expression as (tm)'d.  Your (tm) must have expired about 2
    versions ago.
    
    Until it is re-registered, imo it exists in the public domain and that
    raises a question for all you sheet house lawyers, "can a (tm), once
    in the public domain, be re-(tm)'d?" 
    
    May we have a legal opion(tm) please?
    
    Kev
    

I have always felt that for many common expressions, the (tm) was not
needed at every instance it was written.  However, if challenged, the
writer would have to admit that it was a TM.


Yes, it is commonly recognized in here that REK "owns" go take a suck
pill, like Lufay owns Do Me, but they are not usually written with the
(tm) attached, with the expressed idea that if challenged the writer
will admit to another owning the copyright.


Since Mike JN left, no one has kept up the copyright list, however, the
list from previous versions does appear early in topic 20 (I think it is)...

    REK

Okay, I did it.

Since my best buddy Mike JN hasn't been in here, the TM note has been
dead.

So, what I did was this.  I went through, and added all the tm's that
have been put in as replies in this note.  I also added explanations
for all the tm's I could think of.

They will be in the reply following this.


I'll maintain this from here on out, but here are the rules:

	It ONLY gets a TM if you post the reply in here.  just
	putting an expression in a note doesn't cut it.

	You can't TM public domain expressions.  I'll reserve final
	judgement.



For the following list, if you have an explanation to fill in, please
send me VAXmail on rugby1::way.  I'll post it to the note.

If you own the (tm) on some of the one's with missing owners, reply
in here please...


thanks,
enjoy,

P.S.  I didn't notice if "Snuffy" (and derivatives) was on the list.  If
