   Listen, I agree with Lee and you.  First, you are right; he's not got   
   a copyright on it.  HOWEVER... he puts in a lot of time and effort to   
   do that for people (like I do a lot on my site and others do on   
   theirs) and for someone to copy it and then just not give credit is   
   pretty sad.  It's not the neighborly way of doing things.  You should   
   ask firt. I have a link to his site on mine.  But it goes directly to   
   him... I don't just copy and paste.   
      
   Someone did ask me the other day if they could copy my convention info   
   down. I guess not in a way though I was divided.  I mean I put all   
   that work in.  They graciously said I could take theirs too (no time   
   though for it) and it's for the benefit of all which is correct.  So   
   that was the right thing to do.  Remember though; do it for the right   
   reasons.  Not because you want to have the only site people come to   
   etc.  taht's selfish.  It should be for all the collectors.  At times   
   though I feel like throwing in the towel too because of all the crap   
   going on.   
      
   Personally, people should have their OWN website ideas and not copy   
   info from anyone.  If you can't come up with your own deal, don't do   
   one.
