The point is that Jackie has a policy to which everyone subscribed to this mailing list has agreed. (Those who do not agree are free to unusbscribe at any time.) It is therefore incumbent upon them to uphold that agreement *whether or not they happen to think it's a sound policy or a good policy or a bad policy or a silly policy*. And, I would argue, long-standing principles of netiquette would strongly indicate that even if one is in receipt of the information second-hand, that one should subject oneself to the lists' restrictions on its use. This is a simple matter of honoring the wishes of the person(s) who have caused the forum (mailing list, newsgroups, etc.) to exist and of honoring the intent of the author -- who, having submitted it to such a forum, has certain expectations on when and where and how it will be republished. ---Rsk Rich Kulawiec rsk_at_gsp.org *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: PaddleWise_at_PaddleWise.net Subscriptions: PaddleWise-request_at_PaddleWise.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Tue Jul 11 2000 - 05:46:38 PDT
