There are two separate issues here.
1. The existence of PABBIS.
2. That PABBIS has taken a bunch of posts from last month's ccbcnet discussion, incorrectly identified the source (that ccbcnet is part of ALA) and stuck them on their website.
It is #2 that concerns me (as I had heard of the group before). Is this legal? I'm pretty shocked that this can be done, but perhaps I'm naive. Certainly, if a group stuck some of my material on their website (as opposed to linking to mine), mis-cited it, and then added their own negative comments, I'd be pretty uncomfortable. Folks from ccbc-net: is this okay? (Since those whose posts were taken are not identified I'm not sure they can complain directly.)
Thanks, Monica
