The FHL specifically states what list owners can do with the posts.  We
don't worry when those who write them put them elsewhere.  We do ask vets
and other experts for re-posting permission for their answers even though
we don't have to.  We do not ask the folks who posited the questions but
instead we keep their identities private as i did in the reposting of
vet, Karen Purcell's reply.
 
Those who want to see the FHL may go to:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Ferret-Health-list/
 
Replies to cross-posts are not accepted and are not forwarded.  Interested
parties may join the FHL and go from there.
