   You do.  You're just using that turn-of-phrase in the rhetorical way.   
      
   It's not that I "Don't have the ability".  It's just a bit of a PIA to do it.

   I don't think anybody really worries about copyright nonsense anymore.   
      
   I've certainly seen most people just post stuff verbatim - especially in   
   this NG (a.o).   
      
   And, no, I'm not going to get into the usual argument about whether or not   
   that makes it right.

   every   
   day or two), they always immediately issue two simultaneous statements about   
   it:   
       1) "I didn't do it" (Standard denial, which of course only cult-members   
   pay any attention to)   
       2) "Here's how I did it and why I did it and why it shouldn't matter to   
   you and why you should go back to watching sports on TV"
