But the people who keep bringing it up do have a point: a copyright is a copyright, and a violation is a violation. There's no two ways about it, really. What bothers me more is that the context for this is so often Dave Barry. From what I've seen (namely, what's been copied onto the net), the guy is dull. If you're going to transcribe something and provoke copyright flames, at least pick a writer who's witty, or incisive, or deep -- more interesting than DB one way or another. -- -- Mitch Marks @ UChicago ...ihnp4!gargoyle!sphinx!mmar
