Not quite.  The Amano articles ARE originals, since they were submitted 
directly to us by the author.  It is a reprint only if WE mine it from 
another hobby publication or website that allows reprints.

The way to do it is to refer him to the author of the article in question. 
Then we don't take a chance on ticking a contributor off by allowing 
something to be printed on the web without their permission... WE don't even 
put stuff up on the web without asking the author first.

The reprint "rules of ettiquette" were established back before the internet, 
as a courtesy between hobby organizations to spread information.  There are 
many fewer hobby publications now, we are not on the same level as most of 
the ones that do exist, and the idea was NEVER meant to include cyberspace 
in the beginning.

Definitely.
