I'm not going to get into the legal interpretations of copyright ownership vs permission.Weetabix wrote: I think I read in some other thread here that many items were being copied quietly and "without drama" from the GunThing over to the Gun Counter.

I was not copying quietly. I was very upfront and straightforward about what I was doing on TGT. Per Kim and Connie, they gave permission for the original authors to keep their work. Instead of arguing, I pursued specific and explicit permission from those authors to repost the articles. I have a list of who gave permission and who didn't.
I am absolutely clear legally, morally and ethically.
The other posts seem to be the original authors keeping their own work available.
That's nothing anybody should be able to complain about.
