I'm confused. Since I have never to my knowledge accessed or read teh page I allegedly copied....

In actual fact, I wrote the entire article with no reference to other sources. As an ex-member of eh SDA church, I regularly (once a year) doorknocked around my local area, collecting for ADRA. What I wrote was essentially my recollection of the information we were taught to give to anyone who aske "Who or what is ADRA, and what does it do?".

So even if the text somehow turns out to be the same as one web-page (which I still haven't accessed or read), then teh information and wording is actually public domain, and no copyright violation would be possible anyway.

[edit] Dear confused

Your right, it seems that 144.139.5.57 replaced what you wrote with the glowing description from ADRAs main site. I've put your orgininal back on the temp page, so it should get back to the real page soon. --Terrible Tim 11:57, 24 Jan 2005 (UTC)
