This is not my <listname> WELCOME file but rather a quarterly posting I send out to the list to remind people of various LISTSERV commands, what's available in the list archives, and what constitutes a reasonable posting. The disclaimer in the first Q/A <is> part of all of my <listname> WELCOME files. I skirt the issue of copyright altogether because I can't imagine anyone posting to a public list and expecting to retain copyright. I have a little bit of experience with copyright (U.S.) and in my <opinion>, unless the list is private all the way around, copyright would almost have to be a moot point. I do ask subscribers <not> to post copyrighted information such as journal articles...that is, after all, illegal. One caveat: I don't know that the disclaimer below has any legal validity. It <does> make me feel better knowing it's out there. :) ============================================================ Q. What is ACCESS-L? A. ACCESS-L@INDYCMS is a BITNET distribution list running under LISTSERV 1.7f at INDYCMS, the VM computer at Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis.

(STUFF DELETED) ============================================================ Q. I've found a review or article in a computer magazine that relates to a discussion taking place. May I post the review or article to the list? A. If you can summarize the review or article in your own words, feel free to do so. Otherwise, please refrain from posting copyrighted materials to the list.
