Yes.  But only because I wrote them.

I don't want to be the wet blanket, but did you get Paul's permission to
repost these?

Heh. I loved them so much that I decided to keep them...

Actually no - but they *were* originally posted to a completely 
open-access public forum in the first place. ;-)

One would presume that if you didn't want something copied, you wouldn't 
put it somewhere where millions of people will have the chance to copy it.

(Hey, wait... Madonna keeps playing her music on the radio... hmm, maybe 
that _is_ a slightly broken assumption...)

Anyway, I thought it was really cool and I've saved it ever since. If 
it's a problem I can easily take it down, but I doubt it...

(I don't recall Phil asking me before reposting my desert text for that 
matter... although admittedly my memory is imperfect. I'm glad he did 
though, otherwise I'd have never got it back!)

Sure, but it is polite, at least, to ask permission before you copy someone
else's work, even if you do credit them..

That's no excuse.

Most websites are completely open-access too, but that doesn't mean you can 
copy and redistribute anything you like from them. Same goes for books from 
your local public, open-access library.

> that _is_ a slightly broken assumption...

Indeed.

It always *might* turn out not to be a problem, but that's a bad basis for 
doing something that some consider very rude and which is technically 
illegal too. The correct order is to ask permission *first*.

Note that you're always allowed to quote a small portion of a text. That's a 
different matter from reposting something in its entirely.
