That excuse is threadbare. By now everyone knows that stuff on the
net is NOT PD.
The thing that's sad is that most of us, if asked nicely, would
probably be happy to give permission.
PS: Would you please learn to trim digests down to the post you are
responding to, and that only the relevant points, instead of quoting
the whole thing holus-bolus? Many email clients can quote selectively
if you want, which makes this very easy. Even without such a feature,
however, it's pretty inconsiderate of other subscribers to quote as
you have.
Further PS: Please also learn to change the subject line to match the
actual content of your message.
