What you have to say is valuable for helping AS be better understood!

Thanks also to Alex Plank for his consent from WP to include some (and maybe all) of your quotes.
I'll keep everyone here informed as to progress of the book. As planned, WrongPlanet will be mentioned on the back cover, in the acknowledgements and in the bibliographical entries

bump for OP

No problem.

To be honest you really don't need to ask the OP's permission to quote. If its put on the internet its considered to be "fair game". Its nice to do that, but not necessary.

Go for it.

Just so you know for future, the rights that you have. It is not "fair game", because he says it is being published, and would at least need permission from the person he is quoting, but he seems to know that, so that is good! I can quote you on this board, and WP can quote you for this board, but a person would need at least some form of permission from you to publish it for anything short of something news worthy.
The internet is not all free and everything is not all fair game, copyright laws still apply!

He dosnt 'own' what each person says here. He only gives himself the right to use the content for WP, so he could do something like quote you in something to promot this place. He can say whatever he wants to say, but copyright laws still apply, so I imagine that is why "psychobabbler" got permission from each individual member. If you were quoted in full, without your permission, in a published book, that is against your rights, and you would most likely win a lawsuit.
Just letting people know that they do have a right and choice in something like this
