What is posted in public for all to see that is not copyrighted is for all to see and for all to use. Just because he posts something doesn't mean he owns it and therefore has total control over whoever uses it and for what purpose. If it's not copyrighted, it's completely fair game for anyone on the planet to use at their discretion because it's posted in a public domain, unless otherwise specified in the user agreement of OCDO. Sure, he can edit it, but if anyone 'owns' his post, it's John and the moderators of OCDO. Whatever you agree to whenever the user agreement is signed and you create an account is what is agreed to. If, in the user agreement the moderators take absolutely no responsibility for anything posted (which they do, which is why the forums are moderated) then likely, all that is said here is 'owned' by OCDO.
That being said, Wash, Rinse and Repeat has helped nearly every single person in some way, shape or form in the Michigan forums. I would highly encourage all administration to leave it so that we can continue to use it. If not, I'll rewrite it using my own words and repost it if need be.
