Ok got a question I hope some one can answer.  As Bob discribed the
copyright laws how can someone set up an archive of the FML without
violating them.  Do they need the permission of every person that post to
the list or just the permision of BIG.

[Moderator's note: It all depends what you do with the info, as far as I
understand it.  There are some allowances made for free/non-restricted
public mailing lists, but this doesn't mean one can collect all the
back-issues and then sell them, for example.  But it's a gray area, and an
area which even has copyright lawyers wishing for clear answers.  And if
they are confused, imagine how confused I, a non lawyer, must be!  BIG]
