Jeremy, to see any of this, one MUST be a member of yahoo's groups.  The 
last time I looked at the TOS, about 5 minutes ago, it was incompatible 
with my views on ownership of the content posted.  So, while my oar likely 
won't be missed in the grand scheme of things, it will never be dipped in 
water that poisonous.  My sig for a long time, had a preemptive copyright 
notice expressly because I, when I do write something, intend the copyright 
remains with me & not some dip at yahoo reading the notes scribbled on our 
dinner napkins. At one point, yahoo was claiming copyright on every message 
that passed thru their servers.  I couldn't find exactly that wording just 
now however.  Have they finally gotten religion on this matter? 

I was party to exactly that sort of a patent/copyright grab about 20 years 
ago.  In that case we broadcasters issued an ultimatum to the FCC and a 
patent troll got a beatdown in court he won't forget.  No way in hell were 
we about to pay some jerk $2250 a transmitter a month to use the data 
format mandated by the FCC for the EAS messages.

Besides, we have a wiki.linuxcnc.org site, which IMO should be the one 
common place to put the routines & dumps we would like to share with all 
LinuxCNC users.

Cheers, Gene
