A lot of people consider reposting a message to another list without
the author's permission a rude thing to do. I certainly would not be
at all happy if someone reposted something I wrote here to another
list without asking me for permission to do so. (Or if someone used
something I wrote in an article without my permission--we've already
been around once about *that* topic.)

Also, it could be construed as a violation of copyright.

I'm not at all sure about quoting the entire message in a response. On
the other hand, if that's part of an ongoing conversation, I suppose
it could be construed as fair use. This strikes me as very different
in intent (though also poor manners, of course) because it's in the
same forum.
