This has come up a couple of times in the past. The archives are, indeed, public (http://listserv.aoir.org/pipermail/air-l-aoir.org/), and do not require a login to access. While I think it may be a nice gesture to ask an author's permission before quoting them, those posting to the list should recognize that it is a public forum, and the things written here are published to the world. That makes them pretty much fair game--at least in terms of fair use (brief excerpts, cited to the original author, etc.). Best, Alex H.

This is a really interesting question, to me. First of all, I was the one who originally asked this question and have really appreciated the thoughtful replies. Second, I had thought I might try and collect and summarize and post it to my blog, including quotes. My thinking was that this is a public list, but, now that I think about it, I had to get permission to join, and I don't think the archives are posted publicly (or are they?)
If one needs permission - who from?
I guess you would need to get permission from whoever you were quoting.
