While we're very happy to have you in the Gulch and appreciate your wanting to fully engage, some things in the Gulch (e.g. voting, links in comments) are a
privilege, not a right. To get you up to speed as quickly as possible, we've provided two options for earning these privileges.
- You must reach a Gulch score of 10. You can earn points in the Gulch by posting content, commenting, or by other members voting up your posts.
- You may upgrade to a Galt's Gulch Producer membership to immediately gain these privileges.
Your current Gulch score:

As to marking up or down. I haven't done any of either. Until this post here I have been posting from my phone.
I think that we are going to have to agree to disagree.
Good night. I am going to bed.
I am all for less government but this is a perfect example of what a government should do in protection of its people.
As to your issue with my acceptance of a person making something for personal use. It really comes down to the person making a one off item has so little effect on the person holding the patent as to be not worth the bother.
