Jeff,

What is your opinion of Morris Dovey's sentiments?

If we were to archive pages from your site on our personal systems, would you consider it "stealing" or "preserving"?

To be candid, having been on holiday, I've forgotten Morris's sentiments, but when putting stuff on the internet I've always been aware that I've lost control of it's eventual use. I gather that applications do exist for easily downloading entire web sites.

I know how much people's hobbies can mean to them; my aim is to help folk get good results by following time-honoured and sound techniques. I first started this site when woodworking groups could only use ASCCII code to construct drawings but it has extended to re-using material already published (and paid for) that otherwise would be sitting on my hard drive and doing nothing very useful.

Since it is freely offered, logically I can't see it as stealing, but I'd be shocked if content (especially the pics) was copied 'verbatim' and blatantly offered as someone's original work.

Fairly recently I saw that somebody has done a sketchup drawing of my ramped shooting board

However it would make my day if, as has happened in the past, folk who thought that the content was worth the trouble of archiving were also kind enough to tell me. My slightly disguised email address is at the foot of each posting, but not (so far) on the site itself.

The new, much-easier-to-use software that prompted me to restore the site does offer a comment box but so far I'm a bit wary of trying it.
