But books are mentioned. Before 1990 you couldn't copyright colour photos
in Canada as the copyright act (1910) didn't cover colour images. The person
who recieved the email posted it, it wasn't stolen from anyone's mailbox.

Perhaps nobody reported them, but all the month of August Sexton, Bob Allisat
and MrClean all on vrx spammed rec.aviation and about 50 groups simultaneously
with anti CNE Airshow tirades. Complaints to vrx went unanswered, probably
because their sysadmin (Richard Sexton) was one of the offenders.
