Hi,

It seems you have already posted a similar question on Tue, 07 Dec 2004 06:18:14 GMT
Peter Flynn gave you a very good answer. Look for a message called 'Re: another newbie question...'

regards,

P.S. a question to everyone: is there a policy in newsgroups to quote other people's answers, or is it not allowed to use quotations? I would have quoted Peter Flynn's answer if I somehow knew it is okay to do so.

Perfectly acceptable. If you're not quoting something in an existing thread
you should preface the quote with the the message id so readers may be able
to find the quote in it's full context, for example:


"is there a policy in newsgroups to quote other people's answers, or is it
not allowed to use quotations?"

Thank you for asking In general you can quote anything you like from
Usenet provided you give the attribution (as you did above; conventionally
that would include the article number as well). Strictly speaking, every
post is copyright of its author, but I don't recall ever having seen one
Usenet poster sueing another for quoting a post.
