Several people have written to me ask various questions about Dave Barry,
Knight-Ridder Newspapers, and copyright messages. I hope to get this
cleared up in this posting.

Dave Barry is a real live journalist who writes for the Miami Herald. His
stories are picked up and distributed by Knight-Ridder Newspapers, which
is a smaller newswire similar to AP or UPI. He is a humorist who has been 
writing his weekly column for several years now. He has three books out on 
the market; "Babies And Other Hazards Of Sex (or `How To Make A Tiny Person 
In 9 Months With Tools You Probably Have Around The Home')", "The Taming Of 
The Screw (a home repair book)", and "Stay Fit And Healthy Until You're Dead". 
They are all very funny, and by purchasing them you contribute to, as he puts 
it, "The Dave Barry Ferrari Maintenance Fund." Inquire at your local bookstore.

The paper in my town, the "Fort Worth Star-Telegram," has a videotext type
service which carries the electronic form of Dave Barry's weekly column. I
just download this and post it to the net. I presently have an archive of 
72 articles going back to 1983.

I have talked to several people at Knight-Ridder and they are not worried 
about me posting Dave Barry copywritten articles to a non-profit network.
