Is permission always legally required????
I have over 30 publications in journals and local newsletters and
always reference fully sources of my information. I never ask
permission of the authors nor of the publishers of the journals that
I use in these references.

If the information that appears in a web page or newsletter is
correctly referenced, then why is this different to an article in a
journal. Granted, the thoughts that may appear in an email are
spontaneous and may lack accuracy but the experiences of
professionals is invaluable.

Lets not get caught up worrying about copyright. Lets just keep
TALKING.
