Subject: more reprint rights

Thanks for the clarification. In my naivete, I had been assuming that 
full reprint rights were granted automatically (unless explicitly 
revoked by the author). I had in fact reprinted one CryoNet message
(Ben Best, #4843) and a long excerpt from another one (Paul Wakfer, #4687)
in my (hardcopy) newsletter, *Venturist Monthly News*, without asking
permission. No more of this henceforth, and sorry if it caused any problems.
