However--and I'm mostly answering the post you're quoting, Susan Beth, which I missed--that doesn't mean that it would make me happy if someone passed off my fanfic as their own. I *like* my fanfic. Some of it. I'm proud of it. Most of it.
That post you missed was mine, and I'm entirely in agreement with you. If someone were to photocopy one of my stories to give to a friend, I wouldn't care, and if they asked beforehand I would say yes without hesitation. If they tried flogging copies to line their own pockets I'd have a few harsh things to say about them. But if they tried to pass something of mine off as their own work, I'd want them hospitalised for a very long time.
