Greetings All:

Well I attempted to respond directly to TB in Austin's question but the mail 
I've attempted to send him keeps bouncing back to me, so I'll answer it 
here.

TB in Austin wrote the following:

"if they are both husker lists and the other poster had no intent other than
to distribute the information to other interested Husker fans, how is that a
problem.  Regardless if there is a copyright law there that is being messed
with, I don't see how it affects you one way or the other.  You are posting
to husker info to a husker list and another husker fan wanted other husker
fans to see it.  Not disagreeing with your right to be upset, but why does
that bother you?  just wondering."

This is my reply to him:

Because is it a violation of federal law for starters. If I need to I'll go
back to placing a copyright symbol on my messages (the fact that I don't do
that now does not mean they are not copyrighted in the eyes of the federal
government).

Further, if I wanted my writings posted to other lists (message boards) I 
would join
and put them there myself. I'm not as concerned about the information (it's
pretty public if you know where to find it), but I am concerned about the
fact that this posting was copied and pasted by this person who posted it as
though they wrote it which they didn't.

I realize that I am not the "end all" source of Husker related
information but I strive for accuracy and very up to date information
(sometimes before it gets out to the media in general). I like Mike's list 
and most
of it's members, so I try to give it some "exclusivity and first reported 
here" type reporting.
