There are exceptions in UK law for "personal" use - you may copy provided it
is not for redistribution or profit. Otherwise, students and researchers
would not be allowed to copy pages from library books and so forth. But I
think strict interpretation of the law would include the listserve as
redistribution, but I can not imagine anyone making a fuss about it in the
context of the listserve.
And you are welcome to quote me!! (provided it is something sensible that I
have said, and not something I have come to regret!!!!!!!!!) :-)
