After all is said and done, I would like to be acknowledged as the author of the question workplace.stackexchange.com/questions/1070/… - in the first place to be able to acknowledge the best answer. Is there a formal way to do so?

@OweJessen To confirm, you need these accounts merged: workplace.stackexchange.com/users/114/owe-jessen and workplace.stackexchange.com/users/613/user234024, correct?

@OweJessen yeah, all we have to do is merge the accounts, which one of us can do at request

@BenBrocka If you take away the personal situation and leave it to the question in the title, sure, it's an answerable question, although it's a one-liner...either "yes, if you are under an at-will contract or guiding law" or "you should consult an attorney if it's a gray area".

Meh. Fine

@BenBrocka To be clear, which I wasn't, I'd vote to close it. :)

Michael's answer seems to be perfectly on the point though

Wait, the title changed. Hm
