Whenever MM has quoted anything I have posted to the list with no 
attribution I get paid a certain fee; without attribution I get another 
fee; if it is something you said but attributed to me, I get another fee; 
if it is something stupid you said but attributed to me, I get another 
fee; if it was something you said that was intelligent but attributed to 
me I get another fee; if it was made up but attributed to me, I get 
another fee; if nothing is published but attributed to my missing the 
deadline for publication, I get another fee. Further, I have given MM 
blanket permission to use anything anyone posts on the list in any 
context he wishes as long as he pays a fee to me. So, don't blame him, 
blame me, but if you do you must pay me a fee. Have I wasted enough of 
your time and bandwidth? If so feel free to say so for a fee. Do not 
quote anything here that I have written without getting specific written 
permission from me which I will give for a fee. Thanks.
