[posted] !!! Copyright problem? Re: Posted (#23892, Jenkins AKA Leinster) !

[Greg Newby]

Thanks for this, John.  I've reviewed it, and found the story
is essentially the same, but the expression is not.  I.e., 
the changes are non-trivial from the serial to the book.

I've decided to go ahead and remove our #23892, though this
is a marginal case and we have not heard from the author.
Apologies to Greg Weeks and the rest of the submission team, for
not catching this earlier.

WW'ers: please re-use this for a future submission.
