But, if you were to borrow say a DVD or an audio-book or a paper book and keep them past the due date without renewing, then you get fined. Why is it OK to keep digital library materials past the due date?

What I want to know though is if you borrow an eBook from the library, strip the DRM, read the book (no matter how long it takes), will you delete all copies of it after you are done reading?

I had an Amazon.com long before there was a Kindle and even before Amazon started selling eBooks. I was never told or shown and made to click some box saying I've ever read the EULA for Kindle eBooks. So I'm thinking that the EULA is not really valid as I've never had to read it or even say I have. I can claim I never knew about it. I can claim Amazon didn't make it known I had to read it. So really, the EULA for most eBooks is useless.
you've been here how long? is multi quote still beyond you?

Thank you for the most lucid explanation. Very enlightening!

Next to the quote button is a litte square button that says "multi-quote" when you hover over it.

There is another step! First, you click the "Multiple Quote" button for each post you would like to quote, then you click the "New Reply" button as usual, and all of the quotes will show up in your "reply" screen.

You can then type under all of them as I am doing now, or type between each set of quotes to respond to each one individually.

Oh, this is nice. You have to mark this muli-quote button on all messages you want to quote and then hit the quote button on the last message.

Or, you can click the normal "Quote" button for the last of the posts you want to multi-quote (having clicked the "Multiple Quote" button for all the rest).

Same result, one fewer click

I actually enjoyed going though the paces - I always learn something when I do & I learned - or at least refreshed my memory about - a couple of obscure lawyer type things in this case.

BTW I see you are proofreading a Buchan book - I take it that this is a good one or you wouldn't be spending your time on it...?
