*** REPLACE THIS MESS WITH YOUR LINEAGE *** =========================================== Dave Barry fans: I have decided to discontinue posting the weekly Dave Barry articles to net.jokes, based on the following message I received last week: >> Dave Barry's column is copyrighted by the Miami Herald. To post it in its >> entirety without permission is a blatant violation of the copyright. It's >> a difficult concept for some people, but by reprinting Dave's column without >> permission you are stealing money from him. >> >> The next time I see such a violation, I'll write the Miami Herald about it. >> a writer, >> Brad Needham >> Tektronix, Inc. >> ...decvax!tektronix!tekecs!bradn I have posted a request for information to net.legal regarding on the accuracy of Mr. Needham's theory, and I intend to consult with a few attorneys personally as well. Until I get a definitve legal opinion, I will not be posting any more articles, although of course I will still maintain the mailing lists that I have going currently. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted ... please send your regards to Brad. -- Gary Benson m/s232e -*- John Fluke Mfg Co Box C9090 -*- Everett WA 98206 USA {microsoft,allegra,ssc-vax,sun,sb1}{decvax,ihnp4,tektronix!uw-beaver}!fluke!inc -_-_-_-andthewordsoftheprophetswerewrittenonthesubwaywalls,tenementhalls-_-_-_-
