Todd,
No, that is not something that happens and there are checks and balances in place to prevent it.

Herman,
Actually, i got the list from a source other than your own site. I did do a search and located it later on your site and used it for spelling corrections and acuracy. However, that is not a violation of copyright laws, as here is an excert from the US Copyright office

What is listed is "common property" that you took from pubilc documents (i.e. the port companies or the IVDP publishing the list, or wherever else you got it from.) But lets not split hairs.Works consisting entirely of information that is common property and containing no original authorship (for example: standard calendars, height and weight charts, tape measures and rulers, and lists or tables taken from public documents or other common sources)

Herman,
I can assure you it was simply a matter of over site on Andy's part. Do you remember meeting him in the Douro Superior last Oct?
I am glad you do peruse FTLOP with such a keen eye. Thanks for stopping in and as Andy mentioned, it would be very nice if you would post something about Port and share your enormous knowledge of this great topic!
Nice to see you here and please send my regards to Elly!
Respectfully,
Roy

Roy,
Elly sends you her best regards too.
Don't expect me to be here frequently. My other activities take so much time these days that I am hardly able to run our own website. But maybe in the future.
