On further reflection, I am going to take your suggestions
into account. In fact, given that I read Stallman's
discourse on "Intellectual Property", and reviewed the
definitions of "property" and "piracy", I could not
truthfully have said that your advice had no effect. I have
more information about these terms now and that information
will affect my use of them in the future. If I use those
terms again, I will reflect on what you suggest.
Thanks for the feedback, and I apologize for not immediately
recognizing it's value.
Bob
