Wholesale posting of all Jeff Williams posts would certainly break the
spirit of the rules, if not the letter.  On the other hand, posting of
all or part of a post for discussion purposes, as long as it is not
offensive, obviously must be OK.  So far, there is no evidence that
Measday is doing the former. 

Of course, anyone who wants to see JW's posts can simply go to the 
ga-full archive, and the preferred way of referring to such posts is to 
simply post a link.
