Not that I'm a lawyer, but I don't buy that one CAN stop
their posts from being copied by copyrighting them. The average
email is quite short--couldn't one copy the entire thing under
fair use? (And if I just want to embarrass someone, I can make do
with just a fraction of their email.)
Now if you were to post an original novel in serialized
form, it would probably violate copyright to take all your posts,
paste them together, and pass it on.
