The Druid's Egg (druidsegg.reformed-druids.org) is the (IMNSHO) premier journal of Druidic thought and practice on the internet. Free for all to read, it is a collection of poetry, prose, opinion, and news of the Reformed Druid world. We receive contributions from both Druids and Pagans alike, from all traditions and all spiritualities.

Recently a contributor asked me if I could delete an entry they had contributed to a past issue of the Egg. The answer is "No." Just like if you had contributed an article to a print publication, we can't go into a past issue and delete things just because someone has changed their mind. If you had sent an article to say, Readers Digest, and they published it, and then, a few years later you changed your mind, do you think they could somehow recall all the issues printed, and reedit and republish it just for you? Would that seem reasonable? Of course not, and, just because it's possible on the web, doesn't mean it's desirable. No publication does this, and we're not going to start.

Besides, legally, you gave up your right to your work as soon as you gave permission for it's publication. Every issue of DE states the following:

"Send letters, submissions to druidsegg-owner@yahoogroups.com
There is no guarantee that your submission will be published.
All submissions become the property of RDG."

In a court of law, that is considered a contract you freely entered into. You'll find similar wording elsewhere on other web based publications. There is nothing original about this, and this is understood when you make your contribution.
