Barbara,
Very scary stuff.  We get taken out of context enough, let alone taking and
snipping bits and pieces we contribute to on-line discussions etc.  Hope
somebody who is much more well versed in the legal aspects can shed some
light on what, if anything, we can do to protect ourselves from unknowingly
being quoted!
