Well, you are the King of our group and we sure appreciate your info.

I especially have received lots of herb info from you and put it to use.

Actually that's what I thought too although

it was a nice gesture on Bron's part. There are

issues about posting things other people write

or create, like stories, poems, articles, photos,

artwork, et al, on your web pages or stuff like

that. In other groups original writing or photos,

particularly if used on a commercial venture

should have permission from the author and

sources clearly noted. Two reasons:

 

1) The US (and probably elsewhere but I can

only speak about where I live) is a

particularly litigious society.

2) Even if you aren't sued, flame wars and

hostile conditions are NO FUN.

 

However 99% of the stuff I post here is just

what I have grabbed from public material but

I do try to note the web pages from whence it

came or author/book/source. I got in trouble

(just verbally abused) once for posting something

that wasn't clearly and unqestionably noted

as coming from another source and I promised

myself I would never let that happen again.
