,

        C'mon you guys...  Every spec that everyone everywhere
        publishes has copyright protection clearly stated.

        If someone has the idea to nab a bunch of it and add it
        into a "book", they are clearly not thinking about how
        the world revolves.

        Was Earl going to copyright his book or make something
        in the public domain?  Either way the two big efforts
        in publishing anything are authoring and attribution.
        Could it be that Earl was saving some of one without a
        complete effort at the other??

        Oh I hope we can get over this with somewhat less than a
        dozen posts...
