Not having found support from your contacts in a list with hundreds, if not thousands, of people on it doesn't mean there isn't someone out there who disagrees. We've got lots of lurkers here. That being said, we're talking past each other, and what's funnier is we obviously agree on the core that copyrighted text shouldn't be posted on the list as it threatens its existence. What I am saying is, whether 1% or 99% of people agree with this rule, it has zero bearing on the next move. What matters is what the administrators of this list decide is best to achieve protection and preservation of the list (I see Chris Samuels is the listed admin, but I'm sure there are others). So, what they decide I will abide by, but I stand by my position that it would be a comfort, if nothing else, if there was a page with Beowulf Email List Rules on it. I admit this disposition is driven by being married to a lawyer :D.
