Consider the issues raised here (all on one line): http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/archives/individual/2005_07/006691.ph p Consider that, under your rules, all discussion here is available *outside its original context* to anyone with access to Google (as long as Opensubscriber.com archives the group). Google "Andrew Stiller." Is it really your intent that your postings on this list should show up as entries 13-14 in Google's search results? For me, it's items 3-4, and that's a bad thing, from my point of view. The copyright issue is really open and shut -- Opensubscriber.com is violating copyright here. And making money in the process (selling ads). If that doesn't concern you, then the context issue should. Posts you make in the flow of a discussion can pop in Google absent that context and could then be easily misinterpreted. -- David W.
