Tim, if this is being done, you need to notify Linda or myself regarding where it is occurring.

If there has ever been a case of copying without permission, the files are removed. If you can let us know of any, please do. It is totally against our policy. Tim, your co-sc is one of the folks that are copying files without permission, and regardless of how many times the submitter has asked (I've gotten cc'd), she has not removed the files. The submitter is frustrated and begging me to help. Linda
