If you wrote it... its your copyright!!!

Just because its on the web DOES NOT make it public dsomain!

Ask them to either credit you or remove it from their webiste

yep it does in a way.........and i honestly have no probs with them using it if they credit me for it..........after all it was written to benefit karters after all..........and hopefully that is what it is doing

the australian article was cool though......i promised to help the guy if he sent me a copy of the mag (which he did) and the title reads
