    So you insert © symbols into documents? If that is a good paying job, sign me up!

    Anyway, congratulations Lemur. It is nice when all the cards fall into place.

    You have no idea the level of skill, training and commitment required to insert the © after product names. It takes YEARS of dedication. Himalayan monasteries are involved. Most of us are selected as children and given to the priesthood.

    In reality, I do a lot of financial, medical and technological copywriting. Here's some of my work -- all of the banners and repeating text are mine.

    Reinvent the British and you get a global finance center, edible food and better service. Reinvent the French and you may just get more Germans.

    Hey hey working man, working man like me
    There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    Yup, almost all of my corporate work is classified as "work for hire," which means I hold no copyright to the stuff I scribble. Can't imagine what I would do with the copyright anyway. It's not as though anyone's going to make a movie out of that kick-ass pharma pamphlet I wrote.

    Heck, Strike, I've been working since high school, never stopped. It's just that this is a better position with a better company for heaps more money, so I'm chuffed.
