But it does, Mr. Drew! If it was an article from a magazine, I would have 
sought reprint permission, which I have done before on this list. But 
online newspaper articles are more ephemeral and given how newspapers run 
their web sites, simply citing a URL is not enough! Secondly, most of the 
subscribers on this list don't have access to the paper versions of the 
article and others may have slow modem connections. Why can't I or David, 
share an article with this list? I'm not publishing it. I pay for a 
subscription to the Post.

I think it is unfair to hold those who have a different interpretation of 
fair use to the narrow, propertarian, pro-corporate interpretation of fair 
use that other have.
