More informally...

This is a personal website set up by a poor, starving scholar with very little time.   It is offered to the general public as "educational entertainment" -- which means, in effect, that I am merely sharing my own interest in this particular, specialized academic topic.  I do not even accept responsibility for what I do say!  As a result, I do not expect any legal "issues" to arise.  Besides my own minor personal tastes, I have no "agenda" and do not seek to mislead or denigrate anybody or anybody's work.  I am quite willing to listen if you believe there are any misrepresentations which I am able to correct.

Almost all the material contained in the pages of this website is original content written by myself (Gonçalo L. Fonseca) and subject to copyright.  That means the website is subject to traditional usage guidelines for copy-written material, i.e. if you copy selections, you must not pass this off as your own work.  That means using "quotation marks" for borrowed phrases/paragraphs, limiting the amount of text borrowed, citing the source, etc.  "Fair use" is not an excuse to mirror, reproduce or copy large parts or entire pages without permission or attribution. We would like to reiterate our warning to students about the stern consequences that are usually imposed by schools and universities if one is caught plagiarizing.  So, please, use this site with discretion.
