Different in that I know my posts are in the yahoo archive, I posted them
thru yahoo and expect them there.  It is my understanding that when lists
are archived to sites such as "www.mail-archive.com" they are done so by the
list owners, certainly not just taken by the archive site.

I'm sure many do the same, but there are also many who post for profit, post
for hope of profit, or are here to learn in order to make a better profit.
No problem with any of that in my mind for the most part, but what this
person has done is not right in my opinion.

Well I do.

The internet as it stands now profits in many interesting ways from your
free information.
