Chiding a list administrator for insisting that subscribers adhere to 
copyright law!!!!!   What next?
     
     Dear Dean,
     
     Not all librarians agree with copyright law. Understand?
     
     Fair use on the Net has also been subject to interpretation. Why can't 
     I mail out an article that appeared in a newspaper I paid for? Or have 
     we decided to bend over backwards and let intellectual property 
     nutcases decide how we are to communicate with each other?
