I'm having problems understanding how they *could* get a copyright.

This was written a couple years ago on Storknet's breastfeeding boards,
with different moms taking a turn and a line (I remember watching it go
up).  First, I think technically *Storknet* would be the copyright holder
since it was on their boards (most board sites have a notice saying
anything you post here is ours) and second finding everyone who contributed
and tracking them down (this was years ago, I am sure some user names no
longer are active or were faked to begin with, a lot of people don't like
to leave their real name and address on registration forms).
