Re: Intercom April 1996

I agree whole heartedly.  Although I don't really mind someone rehashing our
discussions for the benefit of those who aren't on the list, I most
definitely think the source of this information should be documented and
major contributors given credit.  The "authors" might even go so far as to
ask someone if they mind being quoted.

Where is the Intercomm editor in all of this?

We share a lot of valuable information with each other.  We do it openly and
freely.  However, if you want me to respect your work, make it your work,
not mine.
