All,
Like Steve Adams mentioned yesterday, it is just a
matter of common courtesy to "ask before publishing on
one's website". Authors usually will be more than
happy to share the information and make it available
to everyone. After all most of the information are in
white papers.
That is all that is being asked here, we know nobody
is making money out of it, but just shooting out a
one-line e-mail to the author, would go a long way.
Thanks for your support and understanding,
Gaja
