Hello Paul,

Where does it state (any document) that I may not unarchive it and display 
it in any method I wish?

Why don't you visit the website and examine the HTML files (look at the 
source code) and see how the original document is incorporated into a 
webpage. I'll explain the process; I created a header and footer.  For the 
sake of this explanation, we'll call them header.html and footer.html.  When 
the Fidonews arrives via fidonet technology (archive + tic), the system 
grabs the file, places it in a directory, unzips it and does (basically) 
this simple batch process:

:start
type header.html >display.htm
type fido.nws >>display.htm
type footer.html >>display.htm
exit

The original file format and content is maintained and Fidonews is made 
available in a format easy for folks to read.

Now -- as I've explained to Michiel, the copyright statement inside fidonews 
means that Fidonews can't claim that article as it's own, and Michiel is 
free to publish that contribution (contribution = gift) to other 
publications or do with as he pleases. He does not have dissemination 
control over any issue of Fidonews.  If he did, then anytime anyone 
submitted an article to a publication, then they would have dissemination 
control over that publication. It would be chaos.  He knows this, he is just 
too daft to admit it.

I know you don't like me, I really don't care.  But you are more intelligent 
than this Paul.  Siding with someone like Michiel -- especially in this 
particular instance --, regardless of how much  you like him is only going 
to damage your credibility with others.

Leave this situation while you can.  Michiel will soon be singing another 
tune or leaving this echo in an attempt to save face.
