the article I am copying is by Dr.Noel Dydbal, Equine Research Laboratory, at the University of California, Davis. I do not have a date on it, but found it informative. I have other articles by other

After all that work copying an article, I found it on the web! To get to it go to the links section to Veterinary Health Article on Cushing's disease. Persistance does pay off, eventually. I will fi

Thanks for pointing that out, Makyla. <G> Yes, *all* material is copyrighted one way or the other ... even if it's not explicitly posted on the same page with the article. Freelancers like me gener

Hi, guys - I'm sure Karen will provide good feedback on the copyright issue, but as another equine journalist and someone who handles copyright compliance on a daily basis, I thought I'd add my two c
