That's one reason it's a bad idea to post someone else's copyrighted stuff to Usenet. fishing-forum.com is not much different than Google in what they do with our posts to roff and rofft. -- Ken Fortenberry

Similar to google: I suppose. I was a little surprised that a 'com'mercial concern are able to muscle in on google to even that degree. Anyway, as you say no big deal, original posted as an FYI ... I found their promo amusing: "Promoting fishing Discussion" ;-) Steve

They are pretty good about letting people know that this is a usenet gateway, and not their own forum. FWIW, in some cases its not harmless. It can confuse people about the medium they're posting in. One such site, mathforum, really inundated some of the more techie groups with "do my homework for me, Pleassseeee" type posts, and it became real annoying. Scott
