In reading the initial FML rules and guidelines, I got the impression that posting things from the FML to other places is frowned upon (forbidden?). Is this correct? The reason I ask is, there are certain very valuable things that NEED to be shared and spread far and wide, for the well-being of ferrets world wide. For example, BIG's comments on a recent symposium regarding Isoflurane being an "incredibly safe" anesthesia for ferrets. To me, this is VERY valuable information, and needs to be shared with every ferret owner (AND vet!). So, will someone please clarify what can and can not be taken from the FML and posted in other places? I don't want to go against the rules, but I DO want to share valuable pieces of information like this with others. Thanks, Gary, Bart and Victoria [Moderator's note: It's definitely frowned upon if posts are carried over WITHOUT PERMISSION OF THE AUTHOR. The AUTHOR "owns" the post and can decide how it's used. So just ask the authors first -- most are quite glad to help. BIG] [Posted in FML issue 4291]
