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. I've found a review or article in a computer magazine
   that relates to a discussion taking place.  May I post
