Basis weight of paper
Thank you for your addition of Basis weight of paper. I just have one question, is this an original work, released under the GFDL? It just has the look of something cut-and-pasted from somewhere else. eaolson 16:28, 5 August 2006 (UTC)


 * It is an original work. I wrote it about 2 years ago in response to a question on the TAPPI (Technical Association of the Pulp and Paper Industry) "Ask the Esperts" service. I did cut and paste is from the Word file that I created when asked the question. TAPPI does not copyright answers to "Ask the Expert" questions. I have over 100 original articles about pulp and paper technology published over my 40+ years in the industry. In addtion to consulting, I am Adjunct Professor of Paper Engineering, Chemical Enginering and Imaging on the faculty of Western Michigan University.


 * I hope this clarifies things.


 * If you created it, you own the copyright, and it's no problem. We just have a lot of people cutting and pasting in verbiage they found on some website somewhere, and that's not allowed.  Thanks. eaolson 17:55, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
