Hi all, On the net people are very used to the fact that information is gathered and clipped and quoted and that's just the way it goes. I feel, and I'm sure a lot of people agree with me (or perhaps not) that there's an unwritten rule that what's on the net is what's on the net, but that's where it stays... I feel at the very least LiMBO should ask permission to reprint the author's articles. Posters to newsgroups and newsletters do so with an understanding that their material may be copied, quoted, or questioned within the boundaries of the internet, but not neccessarily _reprinted_ in a circulating publication without thier permission.
I would agree with Derek Drew in that if you have any stories or suggestions or information that you post anywhere and you don't want them reprinted, simply state "for list only" or put a permission request for reprint in your signature file. This may sound silly, but one day who knows...all of your helpful information could end up in a top selling how-to book and there's nothing you will be able to do about it... Regards, John(ny) Smythe PS This is in no way meant to put down LiMBOs suggestion, I think it's a great idea! / ! ) <+) (") (.> ---Hey! Support your local scene!
