Steve,

When I distribute my work in a newspaper or book, I've "published" my
words, too. But that doesn't mean that I've given permission for re-use in
any other way.

My postings here are for distribution on this list and for storage in the
online-news archive. They are not for any other use without my express
permission.

I may not really care about 99.9% of what I post here, but I want to
protect that last 0.1%.
