Re: Dedication to the public domain

Here's another example of a way to release things into the public domain. In general, I don't care about messages I send off to the nets. If I write something more significant that I do care about, I won't include this notice, and (even though it is not required) I am likely to include a notice of copyright simply to avoid any ambiguity.
