Geez, YOU again? Why don't you leave people be? Dave Barry's work is
copyrighted by Knight-Ridder, anyway. The Miami Herald may pick it up, but
hey, some people on the net are getting the articles directly off the
Videotex anyway, so they already exist in electronic form anyway. Why the
hell do you bother? To merely distribute these articles in electronic form
is no more a provable violation of copyright than posting a printed version
on a physical bulletin board.

To Dave Barry fans everywhere: how about if each of you key in one article
and post it simultaneously? Is Brad gonna tattle on the whole world?
