Well I am obviously not out to make money, and I have NO interest in
creating my own Legend of Rah *shudder* I loathe this woman and her
"properties".

I think if we are using her original text to examine the veracity of her
claims, whcih she has been quite public about, we are certainly within
our rights. If she has the right to publically claim that she is being
plagerized, we should have a similar right to shed light on her claims
and offer proof of her absurdity, using her own text.

What I would like to know is how I can do that without actually putting
up the whole text... Hmmmm....

 In any event, I can certainly put something together for the FAQ. Let
me know if I can help you on that!
