On which basis it would be wisest to *not* post this material here.
I base that on having been reprimanded for similar actions on other lists, and feedback from the technical people that it is very difficult/inconvenient to remove posts from the archive.
So while it might be convenient, someone will have serious headaches if the Daily Mail demands the content be removed from the archive.

I was merely stating that your logic is flawed. We aren't claiming any ownership of posts to this list, or content ownership. It's just being reposted as a convienience.

Uh, what?
I snipped half a dozen paragraphs that had been copied word-for-word from the Daily Mail's website. That's a copyright violation. The link isn't.

Under that logic, posting the link is a copyright violation as it does not belong to us.

Both this list and wikien-l are public. To repost a substantial portion of a news website's article on either of these mailing lists is a copyright violation.

Local english tabloid puts it's slant on the news. Unfortunately we didn't get any quote in there.
