: - kevin reads this stuff...does he ever "borrow" the wit and wisdom of his devoted fans for his scripts?
It wouldn't surprise me...that's a pretty major part of writing fiction....borrowing from conversations overheard in real-life, events the author has witnessed, etc.
: - if said credit is not given, does posting on the board automatically default ownership of the aforementioned wit or wisdom to the hands of VA?
: just curious.
That's very possible. I don't know if there's any specific legal guidelines concerning posting on the web, but since this is a public forum, I'd expect that what gets posted here is either considered public domain or property of the webmaster/owner of the site.
