Re: Technicality . . .
According to copyright law, if I write it, it's mine. The same holds true on a public forum in digital format. Asking permission is sometimes more than just a matter of etiquette.
Personally, I couldn't care less what is done with my posts (not counting manuscript excerpts) -- but if what is re-posted of mine would make me look good if it were referenced as being mine, I really wouldn't mind getting the credit. Credit beats blame any day.
