Your posts are _not_ public domain; even though they are archived for
reference they may not be used for any purpose other than general reference
without the poster's explicit written permission. This has been researched
in other mailing lists; posters have the right to their material even though
it is distributed in public forum.

That is one of the reasons that some very good posts do not appear on
www.sneezy.org/clarinet - the author has not granted permission for me to
publish the material, and one of the reasons I check many sites on the
Internet for misuse of the material available on www.sneezy.org .

Cheers,
Mark C.
