As usual I cannot keep my mouth shut and will waste my daily posting limit on this topic...

As owner of MDOSPREY, Norm has the right to deny Mr. Siler permission to reproduce or redirect his list, even from publicly available archives.  Think of it as a book, would you think it ok to copy one for your friends?

What is posted on any list should never be copied, reproduced or cross posted without the consent of the author.  To do so constitutes a copyright violation.

I'm sure Birdingtonthe.net is a nice service but Mr. Siler could simply provide a link to MDOSPREY from his site, but even then he should have the courtesy to ask Norm's permission.

While I know my comments on this list are publicly available, I prefer to know where my stupidity might be posted (and you all know I produce plenty of it).  Who knows when I may accidentally send something of a sensitive nature that Norm can remove from public view?  I certainly don't want to worry that it still appears elsewhere.

I make my posts (I hesitate to call them contributions) with the understanding that they are distributed to this group only and will be available on the archive.  I don't want them appearing anywhere else.

As such I hereby forbid Mr. Siler from reproducing, copying, redistributing or otherwise engaging in any form of media manipulation or redirection with any post I make on this or any other list without my express written consent on each individual message.

Geez, I'm supporting Norm.  What is this world coming to? And what is wrong with you people that subscribe to this list yet need to see it on another site as well?  You should be out atlasing or doing something useful if you have that much free time!
