Frequently, on the various lists that I subscribe to, individuals post groups
of messages from other lists.  Sometimes it is stated in the reposting that
permission was received from the original poster and other times it is unclear
whether this was sought.  Having just started my first list, I have seen
several postings on other lists that I have wanted to repost to my list.
However, often the thread involves numerous related responses of interest and
there quickly becomes too many people to contact individually. Thus, my
question -  are there standards of behavior defined for posting information
from one list to another?  Should one always ask for permission from the
original poster or should you simply paraphrase and not contact the poster?
How do you deal with a large group of related messages?
 
Thanks!
