Why is the bulletin no longer posted in the newsgroup?



Sky & Telescope requires that to have permission to reprint it, it
must appear in its unaltered and original form. This includes the
advertisements that come with it. Now, in an effort to comply with
that rule and to correctly claim that it is "used by permission," I am
now running it in a forum situation with those ads intact. If it is
to legally appear in this newsgroup, the way I now understand things,
those ads would have to appear as part of the copy in this newsgroup
situation. I don't believe that commercialism is called for here.

It could be put here without those ads as VicXnews just did, and that
would more than likely go unchecked by the publisher, but I choose to
comply with the wishes of those responsible for its creation.
