I was about to submit something that I had posted to another organization, but remembered this: > [@](#): > > No material contained in this site may be republished or reposted without express written consent of the Chicago Reader, Inc., except that message board users retain the right to republish or repost their own work. So, in reading this, I’m allowed to? I’d hate to step on any toes. ---

The way I interpret this, if you wrote it, you wrote it. It’s still your intellectual property to do with as you will. Use this power only for good… ---

I’m try to figure out how to include a quote is a post. The way I first read this was “I was about to submit something [here] that I had posted to another organization”. I then realized the error of my ways. I’m just mentioing this so no one else does it, too. ---

If not, I deserve a slap. I’m going to see how to modify the quote, so I only reprint some of it. ---
