Hi again, John (et al),


Well, I sent the post to which you are likely responding to you directly

and tried getting this to be a one-on-one off-list discussion, but if you

insist...


If indeed my 'common sense' (interesting delimiter, that!) is flawed, I

guess I am about to embark on a learning experience here, because if the

post above is in fact substansively correct, and not subject to

jurisdictional differences, I can only assume that you have something other

than your memory to substantiate your statements... and I look forward to

studying those resources.


Bear in mind in any response you (or others)  may decide to formulate that

we are talking about email sent to and received from a publicly available

listserv... not graphics on my website or a book John published or anything

like that.


Put simply... if I were indeed to take every posting you had ever made to

this list and if I were to create a website that displayed them for the

whole world to see (I'm not saying I will, because I won't... just 'what

if'), or if I were indeed to d/l all the archived material currently

available and create a searchable database,  what could you _in fact_  do

about it?  I am not at all certain that you would have any recourse

whatsoever.  This, please understand, is a 'devil's advocate' position I am

taking... not something I am actually considering (what, after all, would

be the point?).


However, you started the discussion regarding ownership and my flawed

common sense, so ...
