Feel free to expound upon stuff YOU have written.  Each poster to these
lists retains copyright to their own posts; I'm just the delivery mechanism.
If you want to quote / reuse material from any other post on the lists I
host/maintain, you'll need to get permission from each poster involved.

I'd prefer if you not reprint/republish/quote any of MY posts, personally;
I'd rather they just stay in the list archives.  

Of course, you can link to posts in the archives if you wish, but please
do not use any of my material in-line on any of your writings or pages.

Bill
