I understand the copyright limitations but I AM the writer of the page and the originator except where there are notations.
I think that the 12 and 12 are under fair use for this type of project. There is no way to paraphrase those. There is an agreement with AA (Alcoholics anonymous) 6that anytime we (SLAA) uses the 12 Steps we will reprint the AA 12 steps in smaller print on the same page. I'm not sure what problems this may cause OR if this might be better dealt with as an external link. Indeed I hope to make it easier for those who need information to find it .. not just by linking to a web page(s) as reference but by using that base material and making it more generally applicable. I am the author of any NON-COPYRIGHT material on the website slaact.org and am (if you do a whois) the owner of ourexchange.net -- the host organization.
The web text was being altered to reflect the general rather than the addict audience as you pulled them. (changes from I or our to 'the addict' .. to allow people an understanding of the process.
I do thank you for your input .
