AAARRGGGHHHH ... people still stealing my work

care? *Especially* if the reprint, republish, distribution, whatever cites me? If my goal is to promote knowledge and understanding, then the more places it appears, the better. The only reason I can see that I'd want to restrict distribution would be that I'm promoting my own ego. Two reasons, neither related to my ego. :) First, as many cctalkers know, I * do * intend to include this work as part of a for-profit book. That is why my agent advised me to remove it from my personal web site in the first place. Second, re: the reality of lax online citation standards, I know this all TOO well -- and I know that people will write, "'Blah blah blah,' the web site Iranianpda.com said." It's nothing to do with ego; quite frankly (and I know this is VERY controversial, I * fully agree * with Bill Gates' infamous "Open Letter to Hobbyists" in which he noted that one's I.P. is just as legitimate "work" that should not be copied without permission or an exchange of money. What some call mirroring, others call stealing.
