I would like to remind everyone to please use appropriate Nettiquite when re-posting posts from the
conch-l list to other lists or web sites.  If you wish to re-post something someone posted to conch-l
you need to get the permission of the person who posted it FIRST.  Actually, it is more then just
Nettiquite.  Posts to the list, like any other original fixed and tangible work are protected under
copyright laws.  Please be considerate to other list subscribers and ASK FIRST.

A safer alternative to re-posting numerous individual emails would be to write a synopsis
of the text/discussion citing authors and conch-l, with dates and providing a link to
the first post in the thread.  This is esentially writting an article and giving
credit to the source.  I believe there are some excellent examples of how to cite
on-line information on the web: http://webliminal.com/search/search-web13.html

One final note on this subject.  Subscribers may not want their email addresses included in posts on
public web pages.  Spiders, robots and other search engines roam the internet gathering up email
addresses which are then used to send spam and virus.  Something to think about.
