I choose not to participate in the discussion of whether what I copied was legal. But portions were not "copied." I have the right to ask anyone, including the original author, to not copy those portions. That is completely independent of whatever permissions are on the original unchanged item. The above statement is consistent with both information at the library of congress and guidelines issued by my current employer's corporate counsel for material we acquire and then modify. -- Wes Groleau http://freepages.rootsweb.com/~wgroleau
