re: The problem is that a lot of copying advocates have been going around
trying to use "the need for copying" as leverage for restricting
the set of things which I may quote. My view is that it is my write
to quote whatever I want, and it's up to the person who thinks they
can do something fun with copying to not get themselves in deeper than
they can handle.
Kent, I agree with you 100% on this (your "point 2"; modulo typos, of course).
It looks like you and I may be in agreement about this whole issue.
