He may be slightly acquainted with his country's copyright law, but that
does not pertain to the Snooze articles.  I believe Janice did the correct
thing, but it also led to a protracted discussion.  (-:

Because Shannon is the one updating that echo.  Another reason for Felton
to get lost, IMO.  No one is contributing anything of substance to the
Snooze, so I think he should hand it over to someone who will properly take
care of it, which he does not.

I don't remember those two.  Maybe they had AKAs?

While that is true, I still like posting in the echoes where the
participants aren't combative.
