Don-

People in blacksmithing must be unusually generous by nature. I've never
known of anyone trying to hide from others some bit of knowledge that they
might have acquired along the way. Newsletters that I've seen ask only that
you give credit when copying something that they have published. I would be
surprised if any of the contributors to theforge objected to the use of
something they have posted.

I have been publishing stuff from this list and the artmetal one for 
years, so far no one has complained -- hope they don't. I always 
credit the author -- the problem comes when I just have an e-mail 
address and no name.
