To END this matter of Red posting what I said in the GSAL list, I think it is perfectly legitimate and pertinent for him to do so in this case. My words on any forum are PUBLIC DOMAIN!!! If this had been a PRIVATE Email shared between Red and I, I could object, and others could find fault in him doing so. As it is, Public Domain means that whatever I post may be repeated, ad nauseum if desired, anywhere else in public.

I know of no RCU rules or regulations that preclude what Red did. I find the reaction from 3rd parties to be less than germaine to what was written in that post. Attempting to give Red a hard time for doing the right thing, though you may object to him quoting in entirety another persons words, is misguided and unnecessary.

I, personally, APPLAUD what Red did. If anyone has a right to object, it is me. Since I do not object, it is ludicrous for anyone else to object, as there are no grounds for it.

J_R, it is obvious you have legal experience .. this is NOT a legal matter. . it is a matter of Principle. . therefore it far exceeds the constraints of legalities, courtroom savvy, or quoting from rules and regulations to the Nth degree. Let's leave the legalese to the AMA. The ball is in their court now.

Now. . please ..can we end this?
