This may be simplistic, but the original poster could have alerted us to an
interesting article by briefly describing it and then pointing us to the
URL. We all get to read it if we choose by visiting the Post's site, yet we
are not distributing it all over the net.

I myself was disturbed to find last year my web pages copied in toto and
installed on another library's web site.  I'm not hoarding those
paragraphs--they're hardly patent pending--but couldn't they have *asked*?

Best,

Roberta
