By the way, the first couple (at least) on that linked page were cribbed from our old thread.

Thanks for the link Esty.

That's a great thread. Wonderful to read through it again.

Although, to be fair, the owner of the site (assuming that it is the same one) did pop up on the thread to request permission to use the Downers' contributions on his own site and appears generally to have been given licence to do so.

Well, it turned out that the first few on that thread were posted by a member who found them elsewhere and "forgot" to acknowledge his source. They did not originate on the Downs.

Anything that is published on the internet spreads rapidly, but whenever possible, the original author should be named.
