Link to the mailing list archives. Then you're not going to hurt anyone's feelings. I think that standard copyright rules apply. Snippets and excerpts can't be considered copyright enfringement, but if you're going to cut whole paragraphs, it'd be best to contact the author for permission. As for anything I've said, you're free to use it. -- Joseph Tate Personal e-mail: jtate AT dragonstrider DOT com Web: http://www.dragonstrider.com -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/ TriLUG PGP Keyring : http://trilug.org/~chrish/trilug.asc
