Hopefully this will get quite a few post up, but if not.. then at least maybe peopple will read this one..

I have a friend who works with me who owns the company Digital Divas which promotes femal internet involvement.

but recently Micromorons desided that it was such a good idea, that they opened. digitaldiva... a single 40 year old l337-wanna-be woman, who says women are afraid of the internet. ...

the problem is, that as my friend attempts to sue micro-bitches for stealing her trademarked name, but microsoft said it wasnt a trade markable name..... hmm....

let me let you in on a little pice of history... "internet explorer" was originally not a microsoft term. they infact stole it from a ISP back in the 80's, and when the ISP tried to sue. Mic said "its not a trademarkable term"... . same with Microjerks Bookshelf.... "bookshelf is not a trademarkable term".

yet in both cases after microsoft won, someone else would attempt to use "bookshelf" along with "explorer" and both were promptly sued for copyright infringement.

anyone got anything better?

umm.. anyone got a good reason why part of my message isnt on there? .i may have messed something up, but after the link to digitaldivas, there should be quit a bit more, before i say, that crack about digitaldiva. ... umm.. eh?

i guess if this cant be fixed, just delete it... not worth having people read the wrong message.

You can edit your post... You just messed up somewhere in the linking part. If you roll your mouse over digitaldiva, you can see a lot of your message down in the status bar. Just take out any HTML code and you should be alright.

If you want to link something, just type out the full http address and UBB will link it for you.
