In the future, I'd appreciate if you asked first prior to repurposing something I've written. I'm generally pretty reasonable, and think I've said yes to probably 29 of the last 30 times people have asked me. Things which complicate that for me would include:
1) I occasionally do things with other people, for example interviews. That's sometimes because I want to support them , because it's a favor, or what have you. Having them republished elsewhere without asking first is an anti-favor. I don't even republish my own stuff originally given to third parties without asking first.
2) I know there's a good deal of attempt here at curation to add value, and I appreciate the effort that went into that, but divorcing the answers from the questions in some cases does not capture what I think. I'd prefer to be primarily responsible for screwing up people's interpretations of my writing.
Now I know you Charlie and I know you're a good bloke, but in general, the outcomes are better for everyone when one asks for (and gets) an OK for this sort of thing.
