All The Wisdom in the World, ...Retraction of Offer

[Steve]

I receive a very polite note from the List Elves informing me that if
any money is involved in the dissemination of this information then
the transaction is in violation of the many author's Copyrights.

Technically, when you post here, you are putting your original
thoughts into a printed form and making it available to the public,
that constitutes 'publication' and establishes each author's
Copyrights to those original thoughts. Therefore, by some stretch, we
are all published authors... Woo Hoo!

To some extent, I question whether distributing freely published
information to its intended audience, the members of the group, in a
non-profit way is truly a Copyright violation, it is, in the end, not
my call to make. The Moderators have asked me to withdraw the offer,
and so I must.

I think I will continue to download the Archives mostly because I am
curious about how big it will be. Keep in mind, the current archives
only go to post 68,000 (July 2003) while current posts are around
114,000. (Might be time for another update.)

Thanks to all who were interested, but I guess I have to retract the
offer from this forum.
