Hi Chris,

Thanks for the advice on what actions I should take.  I also
believe it is a principle thing. (I included your advice below)

What is strange is that all the links to the archives are
to my site.  Sure, she includes her affiliate program buttons
to the side of the page, but what purpose would a person have
to include links to another newsletter's archives?!  Wouldn't
that deter people from subscribing to your own newsletter?

I know what you mean Angela.  I guess we all have to be careful
whose graphics and ideas we borrow from and we should always ask
their permission first.

Thanks for everyone's input on this and I think I will
first try to contact her before I take any further action.

Eva :)
