[Air-L] etiquette for reusing or reposting blog posts

[Lois Ann Scheidt]

I think you will find there was a long running discussion on this that 
spanned across at least the academic blogosphere.  That issue was one 
of citation...though I think the issue of ethics is a good one that has 
not, to my knowledge, been well explored.
