- Ken's right, also from the copyright point of view - it's important that
*specific* permission to quote be sought / given. In practice I can't see
this being a big problem as (a) most people are going to give it ok and
(b) folks are - by definition - fairly easy to contact: we're on e-mail,
right? As a price-to-pay for keeping this discussion open to all those
half formed blurtings we know and love, the ask-before-you-borrow-it
principle is one to hang on to.
