Given the charter of this newsgroup, I would think the rule would be to assume access to metalink. That certainly does not mean people without access should be excluded from the group, and fair-use means some amount of quoting and a lot of paraphrasing from metalink is allowed. Ronald has given an excellent example of how it should be done. I'll probably just continue to post links, because part of my intent is often to get a newbie poster and "future lurkers" (including myself :-) to take a look. Obviously that doesn't apply to you, since you are not a newbie, but we should all try to follow Ronald's example if we post anything, um, suitable, from any paid board.
