I don't know who your publisher is but they should be advising you that you usually need to get signed releases to use comments made by other people.

I'll give you a blanket one no problem (I'm honored you chose mine) :mrgreen:. Nor, I'm sure, would anyone else have a problem.

But in the world of publishing - when done correctly and legally - you can't just take a person's written word - even if it's on a public forum with funky ID names -and just use it again elsewhere without permission.

I'm sure you've seen "reposted with permission" tags. Although, admittedly, rarely on this site. :roll:

CYT.
Cover your tuchis.
Oh, yeah, as I said (see the first time I show the back), I would not use any comments without permission. I am just trying to see how it should lay out. Part of what I am writing up are "contracts" of permission for photos and comments.

Thanks for all the great comments.
