I don't think Vlist is acquainted with copyright law, particularly with
fair use as an exception.  I'm also not aware of a standard having been set
for copyright in Fidonews articles at all.

 RN> He isn't doing his job at all, let alone adequately.

Felten is the editor of Fidonews but I thought someone else moderated the
echo.  Why does the name Shannon Talley ring a bell?

 RN> How about Bob Kohl?  (-:[

Kohl was a pussy cat compared to Germer and Hirshfeld.

But you don't need to have a visible presence in the echo to meet either
objective.  Netmail or Email should work just fine.

Take care,
