  As far as I'm concerned when Marcus explained about
the mistake and then was gracious enough to change it,
it was a done deal.  I'm sorry I started such a fuss. 
I just wanted clarification and was reluctant to
submit anything otherwise.  As to Mr. Seyberth remarks
which in effect said (and I'm paraphrasing) that
nobody was probably ever going to pay for these
articles in the first place, I have to say that wasn't
the point.  The point was that the authors should own
the articles and not have to be legaly bound to DRC.
  That has now been cleared up by the DRC to my
satisfaction and I will support them as much as they
allow me to.
