Google perspective _ RE: New home for list needed-a Case Against Yahoo
The articles ( that I have not read yet) may just be another attempt by Google to improve it's image in the copyright, fair use case that is on going about books, and many forms of searchable information. Whether you agree or disagree with their position about making much of the published information available for search, you should at least become more aware of the impact that the current case on information exchange.

But it did raise some questions that would be important to be asked and answered before choosing a forum site. I hope and trust that Gordon's proposal will be supported and that we can continue independent of those kinds of concerns. I'll be the voice on public radio during pledge break: "Where else can you hear Judy and Kerik teasing each other about platinum prints? Where else can you discuss the merits of PVA sizing for gum? You know you depend on this list, you know this community is important to you. For just $10 or $20 a year you can ensure that you'll continue to get this kind of intelligent programming , featuring your favorite alt- photo personalities! You pay more than that for a good lunch, and isn't this worth more to you than lunch? Don't put it off, email Gordon now!" Back to our regular program, "Gum and PVA." kt On Nov 13, 2009, at 10:40 AM, Tomas Sobota wrote: > Ah, did you read it? So your Spanish is still good, eh?
