BG Protocol frowns on the citation of an off-list message without
permission of the original sender:
BG-FAQ: "Citing off-list messages of others in posts to B-Greek: It is
considered to be in very poor taste to post to the list items that have been
sent off list. Before doing so always consult the author to see if this is
acceptable. Complaints from authors of messages that have been posted to the
list without their consent will be reviewed by the BG Staff and appropriate
action will be taken, if necessary."
Practically speaking, this is unenforceable against those who are not
(currently) members of B-Greek, because (a) our archives are open to
list-members and the general public as well and so freely accessible, and
(b) we have no way to sanction non-list-members. Nevertheless, the citation
of list-correspondence without the original poster's permission is a breach
of netiquette. On the other hand, there can hardly be an objection to
referring to a message in our archives by giving its URL.
