Anything I post in a public forum is public.

It very clearly stated that the message was posted on the PhotoGallery, which is
certainly free and open to anyone who pursues photography. Though it was in
respose to a question by our dear Ayse, when I write in any of the forums, I
write to the whole group - to anyone who might benefit from the information.
Once public, it can be freely quoted anywhere.
