Our use of Public Domain

In response to Damon Caufield's misinformed accusations about our use of pictures on this site, every image we have posted is in the public domain.  Copyrights on historical documents are owned by the public interest.  If anyone disputes our right to use them, they are free to send us a cease and desist like the one we have issued to Mr. Caufield for his use of our logo.
 
Unlike the pictures we've posted, our logo is an original piece of artwork created in the recent past, exclusively used for trademarking purposes.  His use of that trademark is illegal and without consent.
 
While I respect that some readers find Mr. Caufield's blog informative and engaging, I ask that you stop sending me e-mails restating his arguments.  If you're reading this page, it's because you find value in our research and findings - both of which take time.  Please allow us to continue that work by not flooding us with feedback on someone else's weblog.
 
Thank you, one and all.
