Dan/NAA60512 02-08-2010 08:22:34 209.105.175.91 462870 Report to Moderator	Couple things recently came to my attention: The VFTR has been "reproduced" and is still on line? Interesting. A certain university used a page from my web site as a part of their CAD/CAM course "Advanced Topics in Design and Manufacturing; Actuators and Performance Characteristics/ Hydraulic system." The question was raised on these forums about who "copied" information (text and illustrations) from whom. I sent an email query to the university, and they immediately removed my content from the course. Their decision, btw. When I published the VFTR I did not care who used my info, but to copy my information, text, and illustrations and take credit for them is going a little overboard. Sorry to come off so strong, but the suggestion on these boards that I copied the text and illustrations from this certain university, rather than the other way around, stung a bit.

Let me explain what happened... While surfing around a few years ago I found that your site had been archived by archive.org: http://web.archive.org/web/20051223033225/http:/members.aol.com/naa60512/naa.htm Their archiving is temporary...you never know when it is going to become unavailable. I decided to make my own copy so it would not be lost, and published it publicly, at: http://66.49.166.42/VFTR/naa.htm If you go to the contact page you will see the intention of this was honest - I did not try to misrepresent the effort, rather to preserve it and be a reference to anyone requiring the information. I have had a few queries generated, but I usually send the requester to the ytmag.com site. My intention was never to take credit - simply preservation. If you would like to see it gone, let me know.

It was a fantastic site and undoubtedly reflected considerable knowledge, research and time on your part. I have noticed over the years many have referred to it and I would think that many miss it just as I do. I for one hope you bring it back. Is there any assistance that can be given to see it come back? Perhaps not many in the past have thanked you, I do thank you for all you put into it. I have learned much.   [Reply]   [No Email]
