<BR>Milord, perhaps you need to review the Merry Rose policies. It is rude to
<BR>publicly post someone else's email without their permission, and I am sure
<BR>Kevin of Thornbury & Rabah (society officers for communications & web) can
<BR>give you more information on the legality of it, ie copyright laws, etc.
<BR>
<BR>If a person chooses to respond privately, that is *their* choice, not yours.
<BR>Your posting of that individual's email, intact no less, to the Merry Rose
<BR>not only gets into possible legal consequences, but also defies the ideals of
<BR>this Society and dream.
<BR>
<BR>In regards to the actual comic strip and the person who commented their
<BR>distaste, the situation of the cartoon is specific to the strip, and he or
<BR>she had no prior knowledge of said strip and its jokes.
