[Coco] Quote and reference approval

[Brian Blake]

Good morning CoCo Fans!!

Last year I started writing a series of articles for Retrogaming Times 
Monthly on the CoCo. The first two articles were for November and 
December of 2011. Events in my life spiraled out of control after that 
and I was not able to do anymore articles until the recent CoCo2 article 
in the December issue - and that one went together in a hurry. Thus far, 
I have asked a few people for permission to use some of the resources 
they have provided in various forms, but, I've not directly quoted any 
one person. For the upcoming article on the CoCo3 I feel I need to 
change that approach.

There are a number of people on the list who have discussed the CoCo3's 
development history at one time or another, and I'd like to use that 
information and possibly pick your brains for some more information. 
Anytime I use a person or resource for my articles, I do credit them at 
the end of the article. I'm sending this to the whole list since I'm not 
done looking thru the list archives, nor am I entirely sure yet who I'll 
need to contact just yet.

This email just gives you fair warning ;-) .

Also, it's a chance to proactively stop an incoming message if you do no 
wish to be contacted. Dennis has given me permission to use the archive 
as a resource; we both agreed it would also be best to discuss any 
posted information or potential quote with the post author to get their 
permission as well.

If anyone has a problem with this, please let me know off list at: 
random dot rodder at gmail dot com.


Thanks,

Brian
