I don't know whether there are conventions. I used to ask
every time I wanted to lift something and post it on
PHILOSOP. Based on responses I got from people, I now don't
ask about conference announcements, and things of that kind.
I would not, of course, use an *essay* without asking the
author's permission.
 
Cheers, N.
=============================================================
Can anyone tell me if there are rules, conventions, strictures, traditions gove
rning postings that are "lifted" from one list and reposted on another? Is it c
ommon practice to ask the permission of the originator of the posting?
