I just needed to express how hard I laughed at that. ---

Oh, yes. I particularly enjoyed Franklin Eleanor Roosevelt and the Gazpacho. (Oh, and the Canadian Missile Crisis.) ---

We’re _doomed_. Funny as all get out, though, and I wish I’d heard Dr Martin Luther King’s “I Had a Hammer” speech. I bet it was even better than the one about the dream. ---

They were probably all high when they wrote that stuff. My real question is to the OP…If that article isn’t on the net, did you painstakingly transcribe it? * * * Plato? Aristotle? Socrates?

And if you DID transcribe it, why did you add this bit? > [@](#): > > For Related News, Double Click on one of these codes: > [G] [CAN] [RNP] [DNP] [PGE] [US] [NEWS] [EDU] [LIF] [CA] [ODD] [ENT] [PUB] [LEN] [RTRS] > Wednesday, 14 November 2001 23:47:11 > RTRS [nN07293858] {EN} > ENDS Just wondering. ---

I’m mostly interested in all the theocrats Martin Luther nailed up to the church door . . . ---

Oh. Well then. Never mind… I was wondering if a Mod was going to do something. 🙂 ---

It’s worthless… Nothing on the Age of Entitlement or the Renais Sauce. ---

Uncle Beer, I just realised that you edited my OP. That’s cool, it’s your job. I just want to set your mind at ease though. We (my company) do have permission from Reuters to redistribute their material on the net as long as we credit them. It’s part of the service we provide. I wouldn’t intentionally do anything that I thought would get you, me or The Reader in trouble. And I do know about the Reuters Web site. The article wasn’t there when I posted. I checked. As I said, I just wanted to set you mind at rest. I don’t want to cause any problems. 🙂 ---

That’s cool. I appreciate the assurances, but I’m more comfortable with it this way. If you want to post Reuter’s stories in the future, I (and the CR legal staff) would prefer links instead of full documents. Just a consistency and clarity thing. Plus, I won’t get a dozen e-mails telling of someone violating our copyright clause.
