I'm concerned about the fact that someone who is not a part of this community is re-using the posts made by the people in this forum on their own website. I own copyright on my posts, and they are intended for the use of the subscribers of this list, and not for the worldwide web as a whole. It's wrong. It's using someone else's intellectual property. If it weren't a public website, I wouldn't have a problem, but it just strikes me as wrong, an archive of posts to the lists outside the control of either the list owner or the people who are posting. I tried to write to the contact address found in the FAQ on the site, but, surprise, surprise, the message was returned (though it said HOST NOT FOUND, even though there seems to be no problem finding an IP address for it). I'm resending using the IP address and will see what happens. -- David W.
