I don't. And I don't intend to. I don't do the FAQ for credit or for
money, but to help people out. If someone reprints it, that's good, more
people get to use it.

Strictly speaking, the Berne Convention on Copyright might apply to
netnews articles, at least in some countries, but that's not entirely
clear to me. People probably ought to give some sort of credit when
reprinting the information, but its not a disaster if they don't.

Perhaps once I'd have been emotional about it, but then, my hair isn't
so red any more :-)
