You might want to make that note very soon and *very* prominent because people aren't generally considered to have given up the rights to their writing unless they explicitly state it or the site they're posting to says so very clearly. More than a few free hosts and free e-mail services have lost people in droves when they've changed their policies to taking ownership rights of what's posted... Funny you should mention that as the copyright notice at dpreview.com says that all writing is their property and there's no exemption states for their forums. It doesn't give me a good feeling that the admin isn't answering my e-mail messages about that.
