Our goal on this list is to be respectful of other's intellectual property.>

A worthy goal, but I don't think it applies to this case. The article may be
found online in today's edition of The Guardian for anyone to read. The
original poster of this message just made it easier for all of us to see it.
I think that if any of us then took the article and used it to profit from
it, without getting the author's permission, that would be a violation of
copyright. This case, however (and in my opinion) would fall under the Fair
Use clause.

Happy New Year,
Peace on Earth,
