More legal stuff...
You agree, through your use of this forum, that you are bound by our disclaimer: http://www.strahlen.org/overig/disclaimer.htm (for the use of the strahlen.org website) and the below legal disclaimer (for the use of the strahlen.org forum). You also agree, through your use of this forum, that you cannot ever ask us to delete your postings. That would leave ugly holes in discussion-topics and render complete discussions useless for the whole forum community, now and in the future. We want to prevent that from happening. This does not mean you loose your rights on your contributions: on the contrary. Your photo's and texts do not become our property, but you cannot (for the best of reasons) ask us to delete them. That would hurt everyone. This is by the way the same on other mineralogical websites and fora: Strahlen.org is not unique in this. And don't forget: Facebook abuses your rights, but we don't. We respect your rights, and at the same time we ask you to respect the rights of the community that you are entering. We want to be an information base for the future, for us and for our children. So, when you write, you are writing for the next generation. Not for yourself, but for the future. That's why you cannot ask us to delete your postings. But, you can ask us, to delete your account.
