[so much for "included lines vs new lines".  Yet another trivial way to
 defeat it.]

     Too bad.  Well, I know two magazines I will never have anything to
do with.  Something like MofS, WofK is one thing, quoting a copywritten
work in its entirety.  Excerpting a couple of paragraphs is, or rather
ought to be, perfectly legitimate.

     I am not attacking Dave's stand, in fact I think he is doing the
reasonable (safe) thing.  I am just saddened to see this sort of
little-child pettiness from the magazines.
