Permission to use message responses

After a long absence I have set up a wiki (www.mvswiki.org) to try to contibute in some way. It's very sparse right now but I decided to go back thru the groups messages looking for subject line references to IBM message codes. I then tried to explain the message and what to do about it. Problem is I was only a third shift operator doing billing, printing statements, and backing up. If I so much as dropped a paper clip I was told to hold everything and call the programmer. If I want to make the entires in my wiki useful I need permission to copy/paste some of the sometimes lengthy responses. I am not qualified to completely rewrite to avoid plagurism. I have plenty of time on my hands to search the message archive for message codes and add them to the wiki where they can be searched easily. Please let me know if this is acceptable. Don't let the Google ad fool you, this is a hobby. It has been my experience that Google ads won't even pay the shared hosting bill.

While it's better than nothing, it is seriously deficient when
it comes to MVS specific messages. I don't recall all the
message numbers, but the 306-C abend's message is not included,
nor are a number of GETMAIN failures.

Hi! BuddyBell1143

I tried sending you email off-list but got a bounce...

=====================================================

I have listed your MVSwiki in the "Net Resources" section of my own.

Would you please list my wiki on one of your pages?

Thanks
