All messages posted to rootsweb mailing lists are the property of the author and as such may not be [copied], pasted or forwarded to another mailing list because of copyright issues. However, what you can do is to provide a link to the archived message that you wish to share with the mailing list. In no way is this post an admonishment of anyone who is a member of this list. Part of an admin's duty is to keep members informed of "the rules." ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Not to start yet another copyright debate/flamewar, but: 1. don't these fall under "facts" that can't be copyrighted? 2. what's the harm in sending them to *another Rootsweb list*? 3. it takes days for the archives to be updated and I prefer to clean out my mailbox ASAP; also, the links are usually long URLs that break when they wrap :^( If I'm all wet on the above, please consider this a request for permission to forward excerpts to other lists - thanks in advance :^) Ron, feeling admonished anyway :^(
