Get a lawyer and sue me.  It's called "fair use".  You do indeed own the 
copyright to your whole posts, and I will defend that.  You don't, however, 
have the (legal) right to tell anybody how they may quote that.  You don't 
want to adhere to the norms of the list, that's your right.  I have an equal 
right to ignore you, and will do so.
