Good work, Fark. That's a well thought-out piece. You could turn that into a nice four-pager and use it in the door-to-door work with the new religion announced recently on the board.
Important note: You don't have to do anything to copyright your stuff, at least not with any gummint agency. Copyright automatically inheres in the fact that you wrote something. Some writers put the following on each page (which I think is a little over-kill):Copyright 2001 - Farkel the Fabulousor they will use on the cover page:Copyright 2001 - Farkel the Fabulous
All Rights ReservedOr some variation of this.And that's all you need to do. Legally, you don't have to do anything. You have copyrights because you wrote it. Same applies to computer programs.Emails & bb stuff? Weeeeellllll. I dunno. In a piece like you publish here, I think if you announced you considered a work copyrighted and put the copyright notification at the top of the file, I think you'd be covered. Just a guess on that one.
