*** REPLACE THIS MESS WITH YOUR LINEAGE ***
===========================================


Dave Barry fans:  I have decided to discontinue posting the weekly Dave
Barry articles to net.jokes, based on the following message I received last
week:

>> Dave Barry's column is copyrighted by the Miami Herald. To post it in its
>> entirety without permission is a blatant violation of the copyright. It's
>> a difficult concept for some people, but by reprinting Dave's column without
>> permission you are stealing money from him.
>>
>> The next time I see such a violation, I'll write the Miami Herald about it.

>> a writer,
>> Brad Needham
>> Tektronix, Inc.
>> ...decvax!tektronix!tekecs!bradn

I have posted a request for information to net.legal regarding on the
accuracy of Mr. Needham's theory, and I intend to consult with a few
attorneys personally as well. Until I get a definitve legal opinion, I will
not be posting any more articles, although of course I will still maintain
the mailing lists that I have going currently.

Oh well, it was fun while it lasted ... please send your regards to Brad.
