• Anything ‘published’ on the web is viewed as intellectual property and, regardless of whether it displays a copyright symbol or not, is therefore copyrighted by the originator. The only exception to this is if there is a “free and unrestricted reuse” statement associated with the work.

    In order to protect our members and TFL from possible litigation, all members must abide by the following new rules:

    1. Copying and pasting entire articles from another site to TFL is strictly prohibited. The same applies to articles from print or other media, and to posting photographs taken of copyrighted pages or other media.

    2. Copyright law provides for “fair use” of portions of a copyrighted work. You can copy no more than a SINGLE paragraph from the article to your post (3 or 4 sentences at most).

    3. You must provide a link to the article along with the name of website. For example: ww.xxx.yyy/zzz (The Lower Thumbsuck Daily News).

    4. You must provide, in your own words, a brief summary of the article AND your reasons for believing it will be of interest to TFL members. Failure to do so may result in the thread being closed or your post being deleted as a “cut and paste drive by.”

    5. Photographs and other images are also copyrighted. "Hotlinking" of images (so that it appears in your message) from other sites is also prohibited unless you own rights to the image. If you wish to share an image, provide a clickable link to it.

    Posts that do not follow these new guidelines will be altered or deleted by staff. Members who continue to violate this policy may lose their posting privileges at TFL.

    Thank you for your cooperation and your participation in TFL, the leading online forum for firearms enthusiasts.

Now I'm really confused

"This site is currently off-line for maintenance.
Site was taken off line at 09:00 EST on November 8. Expected time back: 60 minutes. Reason for shutdown: Daylight Savings time clock adjustment requires 1 hour shutdown in order to preserve post time integrity."

Let's see, the site was taken down for an hour this morning to move the time stamp to standard time. But in so doing the announcement said that we also dropped back a day. :eek: So, is today yesterday but one hour ago. Or is it right now but not quite. Or.....

Don't do that to me before the coffee kicks in. :D

Sorry Greg. Nobody will be able to answer your post until at least 12:05 p.m. tomorrow due to the change. Or is it a.m.??? ;)

(I think the announcement should have said November 9th instead of the 8th.)

P.S. Why does 12 p.m. come before 1 p.m.? :confused:

It's simple, TFL owns the space-time continuum. Tomorrow yesterday will be today, so the announcement was correct but was simply out of phase one heliogeo rotation so that we would know what will happen after the fact. Just another service from the best forum on the 'net.

That's what makes this site the best.
Manipulation of the space-time continuum.:)

Or should I say, that's what will make it the best yesterday?
