-----Original Message----- From: SAS(r) Discussion [mailto:SAS-L@LISTSERV.UGA.EDU] On Behalf Of Peter Flom Sent: Thursday, October 13, 2005 11:50 AM To: SAS-L@LISTSERV.UGA.EDU Subject: Uses of the SAS-L archives.....

In a recent post, David Cassell suggested (sagaciously, as usual) that a poster couild search the archives (in this case, for postings about NLMIXED by Dale)

I was wondering......

There's a LOT of great info in them there archives. What would be involved (legally and otherwise) in putting it into some more usable format......? If these could be overcome, wouldn't it make for some great books by users?

At a minimum, of course, you'd have to get permission of the person posting the messages.....but would more be required? If you wanted to post someone's answer, would you have to ask the original poster for permission as well?

Just some random, nonlinear mixed thoughts which probably have to be fixed.
