neither. Got it.

Normally I write my name under everything I post. None of the
forwarded stories had my name on them. Clearly, the first story
about Marseille was attributed to a USAF officer (Major Tate).
I could be wrong but I think "Stallion 51" (whomever that is) wrote
the story about Bruce Carr. And the following story appeared to
contain excerpts from Joe Foss' autobiography (again, I could be
wrong). It's obvious that Bill Hardy himself wrote the story I
forwarded on 3 Sep and I have no idea who wrote the last story
about Ralph Parr (hence the "FWD" in the subject header).

Never said it was a problem, I gave a small suggestion. Sorry that a
suggestion to you is a problem, but that's on you - I didn't say anything to
suggest it was.

See above. You suggested that I "give a little credit to the writer"
and I explained (twice now) that some of them were indeed
credited to the writer. I belong to a listserve that sends me these
entertaining short storys exactly as you saw them as forwarded
on this here NG. Now, obviously you DO have a "problem" with that
because you're asking for more attribution -- attribution that I have
neither the time nor the desire to provide for you. If that's the
case, then I simply won't forward them to RAM anymore. That's
all I'm saying.

Serves you right for trying to be helpful and contributing to the NG. (sheesh)
