Re: Flightlines

As someone who doesn't usually have anything of educational value to say, I won't have to be concerned
about being quoted. ;-) But I agree with Walter and Lowell that permission should be obtained first as
at least a courtesy. I belong to a number of graphics groups, who use the education clause of the copyright act
as cover for using copyrighted photos/artwork, these groups also express great concern about being shutdown
if any of their members use the provided graphics in an inappropriate way.........so I am not so sure the
using the education clause is such a black and white way to go.

Just my two cents.

I may regret sticking my nose back into this, but:

I think that people who are going to contribute to a publication need to not only give their permission, but have a chance to review what they have written.

Having seen the new Bulletin, I don't understand why it would be difficult to send the column as an e-mail attachment to all those quoted a week or two before the deadline and ask them for approval and changes. Tell them that no response within 5 days equals approval. Am I missing something about how difficult this would be?

This is called "Editorial Courtesy", and is in the same category as acknowledging submissions and returning edited articles to the authors for final review.
Participants of e-mail discussion groups absolutely should not have to write every message as if it might be published. The process of editing comments would not only be a courtsey, but would improve the content of the feature.

Ducking for cover,
