PM is the only site I use where I have absolutely no control or ownership of the content I generate.

No control? I can go in today and edit any node I posted over the preceding years/decades. What more control do you envisage having?

As for ownership, this is a community platform and always has been. Anything which you or I post here should be considered a gift to the community. If you don't want to gift it in that manner, don't post it.

That said, PerlMonks is far less aggressively proprietorial than say L*nkedIn or F*cebook, either of which will immediately claim all rights to anything you might do in connection with them. Those are well worth avoiding but this place is much more easy going.

And you can still wash your hands of it all if you so decide.
