Hi, all

Just a reminder from this usually quiet listmom, please do not post entire articles on Lactnet. As we've seen today with the response to Dr. Dworkin's article, it may get posted more than once, which takes up valuable space on the list. A bigger issue is that posting something like this--without the expressed permission of the author (or whoever owns the copyright)--may violate copyright laws which are in place to protect the hard work of the author. 

A far better approach is to provide the url for the article. 

This is different from posting your own writing (such as replies you are sending to an article/tv show or whatever). In that case, you are choosing to use your work as you please and infringe on no one else's rights.

I, for one, really appreciate the fact that we have 1000's of eyes on the lookout for interesting articles, but let's just keep it to urls.

Thanks!

Melissa Vickers, Lactnet List Mom
