I don't see any real difference between that and BYTE's "Best of BIX" section
from a while ago.  I certainly don't have a problem with it; my feeling is
that people are free to do whatever they want with the stuff I post, as long
as I'm given credit for it.

Presumably, the people who don't want their postings used in your magazine
will put a note to that effect in their articles (a copyright notice in a
signature would suffice, I suppose.)  As long as you honor that, I can't
see a problem with reprinting articles.
