Re: [epub] Etiquette for using subscriber's names

["Bruce McCullough" <buruse@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

From: "Bruce McCullough" <buruse@hotmail.com>

Hi Diana,

I think everybody that publishes an ezine welcomes
comments from their subscibers.  I helps to keep
perspective in that many of us are going it alone
without the benefit of outside input other than
feedback from the readers.  I know I do.  I also
publish the feedback I get but when practical.  If
somebody is sending me a correction or telling me
I have a "bad" link, I don't publish it unless it
will be helpful to the readers or add something to
the content of my newletter.

Hope this helps...
