Permission to Use Comments?

[Ron Tarrant]

Hi all,

I've been thinking about how to take GtkDcoding to the next level 
and one idea is to use (favourable) comments made here on the 
forum to help promote the blog.

So, since I'm not clear on copyright law and how it affects forum 
posts, I decided to ask...

1) Does anyone know how copyright laws stand regarding reuse of 
comments on a forum?

2) Does anyone object to me quoting them for promotional purposes?
