 For my own protection, I decided to do a bit of research on copyright. To my utter dismay, I found the following --

"Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 106 and 106A, the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright."

If I'm reading this right, anyone can use the words I post to the internet for the purpose of criticizing me, commenting about what I had to say, or for news reporting. So, the author who wrote the article including 3 entire posts I made to an e-mail list did not break copyright. He can claim he used these e-mails to report the news.
