Re: Back to the Templars!



Dear John:
Just had a look at the "unattributed" portions of the Web-Site suggested by
Jerry Gibbons.
 I guess it is a compliment that someone likes your material so much that
he/she enjoys the thought of further boradcasting it and indeed, for folks
like us who are interested in the story, it is a compliment that our take on
it is being put out there by others.

But I have to say that it would have been even more of a compliment had the
owners of  "jolly roger...etc" respected the author as much as the material
itself and had asked first .

Ah, John, is there no bottom?

Rory

ps I have not trimmed the message as others might like to see this smoking
gun.
