Sigh, can we call this a dead horse and stop beating it? If there was
anything interesting mingled with the comments that go on every year I
didn't see them. Just took the thread and related and deleted them.
Waste of bandwidth. Personally I am in a position to either buy the
book from a second hand dealer, or order it from Inter Library Loan.
Thus stealing the bread from the mouths of the children of the starving
publishers since, unless self published, or a Best Seller, the authors
of academic stuff get little or nothing for their hard work.
On the other hand I wrote and asked the head Librarian of Purdue
University if I could make a DVD of three volumes on Elizabeth printed
between 1789 and 1821. Answer was "sure, as long as you don't sell
them. Could we have a copy or two?" Not all museums and libraries
consider the researcher their rightful prey.

To the list in general and not specifically Ann (too lazy to do a seperate
email):
I left this list for a few years and have just recently returned. I witnessed these conversations way too many times. I see little has changed. Can't we just all admit that there are certain issues which are triggers for some of us and just leave it at that without having to rehash them ad nauseum? There really is no need to jump into the list with swords swinging just because someone mentioned something that happens to be close to your own personal soapbox.
