Thanks for your inputs. It goes with out saying that we would give full credit to the Group and to those Asking and Answering questions. the UK EMC Journal is delivered free in the UK as is access to our web site so I am not sure about your "commercial advantage" comments, unfortunately you do not declare your organisation maybe knowledge of this would help. Regards Alan

You wrote: <We publish the UK EMC Journal and would like to publish some of the Q&As that appear here. Does anyone out there have a problem with this. Your comments would be welcomed. We want to build up a list of FAQs which will also be published on our web site.> Just a comment... or two. This mailgroup is a self-help/mutual support Forum with members all over the world who have a common interest in compliance matters. It has a strict non-commercial philosophy and using the content for commercial advantage is, I believe, against the principles which are the backbone of the group. Tom Bao, of the Regulatory Compliance Information Centre (RCIC) is an avid supporter of this group and publishes on the 'Net a full listing of the traffic that appears on this group. I may be wrong, but I think there is a connection to Compliance Engineering magazine, which is in the same market sector as yourself. We would value, as No.5 said, 'More Input' rather than more output. The group is succesful because of the people in it, from all over the world, who give their accumulated knowlege freely. If your Q%A's include the Groups Email details and instructions on how to join then that may be a valuable addition to the Groups membership, though each applicant is vetted by the relevant IEEE committee (I believe). My feeling is that the more 'Question Answerers' we have, rather than 'Question Askers', the more valuable the group. If your Q&A's generates more Answerers, then that may be a good thing. Just a few humble, simple, thoughts... maybe a tuppence worth. Chris Dupres Surrey, UK.
