Hi Phillipa,
I'm sorry for what my post about copyrights contributed to your feeling picked on. I didn't intend that. And you're right, there are other posts on the boards that include full text of articles. My intention in posting what I did was not to be the "copyright police", so to speak. I don't have the interest, time, or authority to do that. Instead, I brought up this issue on that thread to highlight another reason for excerpting vs. posting full text, as that is a turn the discussion took.

Also, though no one gets "banned here", people do get blocked from posting from time to time--a semantic argument. Still, I do not believe you are in jeopardy of being blocked from posting, at least not due to this issue. Nor do I think anyone should receive any kind of admin. action for posting full-text vs. excerpting copyrighted materials. I believe it's up to the holder of the copyright to enforce. Though I can't know what Dr. Bob's intention in adding that blurb to the FAQ was, I interpreted it as information and guidelines, not one of the Babble "commandments".

Again, I'm sorry for hurting you by seeming to pick on you. I know that feels crappy.
