Hey, Art, We did more good than I thought if we gored REACT's ox! I wonder why didn't he present himself as a member of the Odd Fellows or the Church of What's Happenin' Now? This inquiry may even represent the one of the best reasons for protecting the ARES mark. Oh, yes, I realize that there are some places where ARES and REACT work one in the same.

Maybe he's just being REACTionary. I'm sure Chris (who authored the motion) can shed some light on the questions being raised. 73, Art W6XD ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim K8JE" <K8JE@arrl.org> To: "arrl-odv" <arrl-odv@reflector.arrl.org> Sent: Sunday, July 25, 2004 3:19 PM Subject: [ARRL-ODV:10987] ARES COPYRIGHT

Is anyone else getting flack over the motion we passed about ARES, displaying the copyright mark and ownership of materials? I'm getting it from some very hotheaded folks around Lexington, KY who appear to have gotten each other into a feeding frenzy.

I'm considering driving down there to meet with them and am just wondering if I'm the only person lucky enough to have a fomenting revolution at hand. Other than this hot spot, I've fielded a couple of benign, curiosity-stimulated questions as to "why now?" from outside of KY.

Tnx
