Personally, I'd suggest that Ralph read his own copyright notice
before he wets his pants. Through issue 418, his notice did not
require transmission without changes. Therefor, what I did is totally
legal, according to my understanding of copyright law.

I might note that my editing was confined to either deleting whole
sections or adding comments which were clearly labeled to be mine. I
don't know why Ralph doesn't like this other than the fact that my
comments about Ralph's mental state might not be how Ralph sees himself.

As of issue 419, his notice precludes modifying the magazine. Since it
*is* illegal for me to distribute ads over the Internet, the ST Report
mailing list is history. Goodbye Ralph, I won't miss you.

I'm in the phonebook. But I don't answer my phone. Why don't you show
Ralph how to use the Compuserve-Internet gateway, and then he can
personally send me mail? I promise I'll print it out, frame it, and
put it on my wall. Lawsuit threats are always good for a laugh or two.
