Can you complain if they've done exactly as you ask?
The inability to forsee every circumstance is the major reason I
don't try to spell out details. I just say
Re-use beyond the fair use provisions of copyright law
and convention requires the author's permission.
Simplicity has value.

That's brave ... though OSU was up to date the last time I
looked, they were badly out of date for a long time. I haven't
heard any commitment to stay up to date. Until there's an
archive that splits the faq *and* remains reliably up to date,
I'll stick to recommending rtfm as the primary site even for web
browsers.

Um, how? I don't care for parasites either, but I can't see how
the abuse threatens our viability. The major threat I see is the
fragmentation of the reading audience which is already resulting
from the explosion of web sites.
