First, the industry is very small, and impressing someone with your professionalism is a better way to network than having them think you're less than professional. So, you have the possibility of making a good impression coupled with the most accurate way to get the information you seek. Sounds like win/win to me.If I ever got an email asking me to give all the OGC in a 300 page book I would wonder what the point was. If someone has specific material they want to use, seems like they would name it. Why would you send someone an email saying "Im not sure what I want to use from book X, so could you let me know everything in the book that I might use?" Emails like that would take enough time that no one could get anything done. If you want to use something from book X, send the publisher of that book an email and ask. Chances are you will get a very polite yes in return whether the material is OGC or not.Therefore, again, you win, and have saved yourself all the before-hand semantic hand wringing.You seem to really want to avoid that email saying "Hey is it cool if I use Y feat from Book Y?"My suggestion would be not to *worry* about what's right, since you seem to *know* what's right, just *do* what is right.Chuck</blockquote>
