very interesting message, Nathan, considering that i don't see any
EVIDENCE to your accusation....  if -I- had been the recipient of this
post, i would have disregarded everything that didn't directly apply
to your copyright demands (omitted on this post, but preceeded that
which i did include).

if you can't provide FACTS (y'know...  the stuff with evidence to
support the theory, like your signature talks about!) in the message,
you really shouldn't be making such accusations.  they COULD come to
bite you in the butt someday.
