I just noticed I hit 10k "points" on SSC today. Good way to end the year, as it were.

Thanks. (Woot! This gets me another one!)

Congratulations

If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.

Honestly, I'd start by mailing Steve and let him get RedGate's legal dept on it. No point in doing the work yourself.
Actually, Craig, Gail's idea is a good one. Especially since he did infringe on your contract with SSC.

It appears this article caused him to *start* a blog. So, probably best to hit the dampers early on him.

Thanks all for the comments, they're appreciated. Steve did comment on this earlier, so I assume he's aware. I'll tap him on the shoulder first via what's available first... then proceed to the arsenal.

LOL, side note: The infringment/report abuse page is blocked by Websense. Guess I'll have to deal with that from home. :hehe:

I noticed. 🙁

In that case maybe a polite comment first from you (as the author) explaining that he can't just copy the entire article, no more than he can photocopy the local newspaper and hand it out in a coffee shop. Maybe worth mentioning the practical limits of 'fair use' (with reference to academia if necessary)

Whyfore are you torturing Steve's horses?
@=)

Steve doesn't have horses. Steve's wife has horses, Steve loves his wife, Steve has to deal with horses.
