You can post the name of a forum member in your message as long as it is not inflamatory, derrogatory, or libelous. If you are posting an article or responding with a reference where credit is to be given to the author, then posting that person's name is allowed so as to give that author full credit. You are not allowed to change that article what-so-ever and it is preferred that you provide a link to that article if the site containing the article is not a pay site, if the link would not violate copyright laws, if the site is not a competitive organization to the MAB, or if the site requires no membership. The site must be of public domain.

I will be e-mailing Liz Jones regarding a proposal for the forum. if she agrees, I will make a minor change.

Once this message is posted, then the person's ability to post will be turned on.
