What of an author "quoting" people without indicating the source? I was totally under the impression that these people quoted in the article had been interviewed-it seemed so the way it was written. Jeanette asked is this an inherent risk to responding online as a professional? >> Barbara, Very scary stuff. We get taken out of context enough, let alone taking and snipping bits and pieces we contribute to on-line discussions etc. Hope somebody who is much more well versed in the legal aspects can shed some light on what, if anything, we can do to protect ourselves from unknowingly being quoted!
