> Frankly, I do not think it is the policy of the Salvation Army to attack the foundations of international copyright law. I suspect this is the self-chosen tactic of a lone soldier. Your help in stopping the attack can help to preserve the integrity of the publishing industry, and can help protect the valuable charitable work of the Salvation Army.

Frankly, I think everyone should take a breath and wait for Dr. Bob to handle the situation. He may be out of town, etc. This is not a national security issue and, does not in my opinion call for immediate collective board action.*I* also am extremely offended by Sal's sign off quotes and I'm sure Dr. Bob will step in when he can. I haven't heard , however, any concensus that his journal quoting is unethical. This is an area that still needs to be explored. I feel that to call together "troups" to stop that practice at this moment is really misguided, Penny Lane, because appears to me that it does nothing but further hysterics. The troops that you are rallying are really angry at Sal for other reasons and I feel you are using their anger to control what is quoted on this board. I think Dr. Bob should make that decision, perhaps with input from the membership.
Sal's religious saluatations do disservice to the integrity of this board; I believe organizing a campaign against a group member does likewise, particularly so because of the timing and presumptions.
