Not to pick on Drew . . . but we need to be careful about posting long extracts from published books and articles. They're copyrighted, and even if the author is dead (as in this case), it doesn't mean that copyright protection is no longer in force. Back in Keith's day, authors typically sold first time North American rights to their books and magazine articles. That means the author, or his heirs if he's deceased, still retain those rights. We're sometimes able to sell previously published material. Not a lot of money involved, but there isn't a lot of money involved in the outdoor writing business to start with. It's OK to post SHORT quotations from a book or magazine article, but otherwise you're stepping over the copyright line--unless you know that the work in question is in the public domain (which would be unusual). Maybe a year or so ago, someone posted the entire text of Corey Ford's famous story "The Road to Tinkhamtown" on another website. The moderator issued a reminder in that case. And it's possible that you might get Dave into trouble as well, because the text is appearing on his website.
Please respect starving writers . . . even if they happen to be dead.
