25.0. "May I have your permission, Please?" by ZEKE::HUTCHINS (Feathered Obsessions Aviary) Tue Oct 18 1988 17:40

    As many of you know, I do a lot of writing on the avicultural subject
    well outside of notes...I have a column in the NHAS Bulletin called
    Cage Chatter.  This is a fun column.  I started it 2 years ago when
    I would hear lots of questions about birds and all, and then, these
    same people were afraid to ask "In Public" cause they thought they
    would look stupid!
    
    That irritates me.  There is no such think as a stupid question.
    But anyway, Cage Chatter is a column where people send me their
    questions, I print them in the bulletin with answers that are fully
    researched, and then, they get their answers, someone else with
    the same questions gets an answer,, and nobody knows who asked,
    except for me!
    
    So, what do I want???  sorry...I would like your permission to use
    some of the questions and/or comments here for new material in the
    bulletin!
    
    So, what do you say??  Can I, Please!
    
    Thanks in Advance!

25.1	Just ask in specific cases	UPNRTH::BRIERLEY	To see what few have seen ...	`Tue Oct 18 1988 18:14`	18
	Jean, As a moderator I will say yes, on one condition, that you obtain the permission of the questioner and the authors of any responses that you will quote or reference. I would also ask that you notify either myself or Bonnie when you will be using information from the conference. If it is a general question that you will be paraphrasing or to generate an idea for your column, then go ahead. My primary concern is that even thought this is an employee interest conference it is still the property of Digital. My secondary concern is that there are two, that I know of, columnists who participate in this conference. It might look strange to see you both address the same topic in your columns and know that the source was our conference. Have fun, but just make sure all concerned parties are aware, Eric
25.2	I understand	ZEKE::HUTCHINS	Feathered Obsessions Aviary	`Wed Oct 19 1988 09:33`	14
	Thanks Eric, that was why I used the note as a source of permission. I could easily just use some of these questions....but I really want to go about this with integrity, not sneak around. If someone wants their names mentioned, I will gladly print that and give the credit to the proper folks. But again, I will not just take the liberty of using these files on the outside. Besides I am a Justice of the Peace, I sure cannot go around stealing thoughts with a reputation to uphold! Thanks Again! Jean
25.3	fine feathered freelance	MANILA::WALZ		`Wed Oct 19 1988 14:56`	8
	I guess that I am the other columnist. Wouldn't it be a comedy of errors if we both wrote about the same topic and used that same examples. What I have been doing when I see something of interest is write that person directly to get details and permission.
25.4	I like that!	ZEKE::HUTCHINS	Feathered Obsessions Aviary	`Wed Oct 19 1988 15:06`	4
	Fine Feathered Freelance...I like that! Thanks for the suggestion! J
25.5	I second Eric	WMOIS::B_REINKE	As true as water, as true as light	`Fri Oct 21 1988 09:01`	1

25.6	bird squawk	MANILA::WALZ		`Tue Oct 25 1988 14:42`	2
	Thanks for the applause. Are you both reading my columns in Bird Talk? Any feedback? Be kind, I'm fragile.
