I did not put in it the words - I HAVE PERMISSION FROM THE PUBLISHER - because it was not necessary SIDRAN did not say I had to place those words in my blog. All the spokes person for SIDRAN said was I give them credit by mentioning that the article can be found on their site.

Publishers don't expect people to say - I have permission from the publishers. what they do want is - their name and name of article, authors name and copy right date to be included.

when quoting verbatum it is never ask and or required that the person has to say - I have permission.

Though it IS expected and required that the person using and quoting someone elses work that they state when they do not have permission when that applys.

To not give credit to the authors and publishers is called implied plagerism, and plagerism because not stating such things like not having permission where applicable and not stating authors, publishers and copyright dates leads readers and or others to believe the person using other peoples work has created that piece of work.

I don't HAVE to state in any of my blog entries when I have permission to use something.

But sometimes when the people don't mind being mentioned I do acknowlege them and thank them for allowing me to post their work. You will find many references on my blog and on the boards where I have acknowledged and thanked those authors and friends that I quote works of in my blog and on the boards.

This is not a necessity I just do it from time to time. Its My way of letting those people know I appreciate and care about them.
