If it is a public link, I see no problem with redistributing the
information. After all I found it on a search engine, anyone else could do
the same. We are just saving them the effort.
The only times I say it shouldn't be reposted is if
1) the writer specifically said don't redistribute.
2) the site was meant for people on the list to use.
Although all our posts are in the archives, so readily available for others
to look at anyway.
JMHO,
Ellen-
I have a quick question. Is it OK to just repost this sort of site address
communication to other genealogy/history lists, as long as you mention that
it
comes from another list? Many of the sites we share with each other on this
list
are really terrific resources that would be welcomed by others. I am
speaking
only of resource site addresses, specifically like the one below, not any
personal comments which may also appear in a communication. Rita - Oconto
