Folks,
    I agree with much of what Erik Baard reports. Public lists are not
appropriate forums for private, personal thoughts. After all you were indulging
in some morbid, retro-safety notions. JFK Jr. died in a plane crash not in a
kayak accident. Most folks are stil scratching their heads whether or not the
guy was an "acquaintence" "friendly acquaintance", etc..
    It is the responsibility of any list owner to make it clear that a
particular list is private and proprietary, not ot be quoted wihtout specific
permission. Going the "copyright" route is not so difficult or complicated.  We
have all seen such warnings, e.g. any ESPN sports broadcast. And, exercise
parsing the meaning of words ("friend", etc.) in a public forum has been provent
not to be particularly productive. I wish you well, and encourage the list to
move along to something more substantive. Richard
