Getting permission to mod

[ricardoH]

Some users are active, so I imagine you can easily get permission from them to modify a table they're posted, but others don't seem to be active for years and they have some great tables that could be updated.

Obviously I can update the tables for my own use (and have), but I can't share back without permission. Is there any info on how to contact these folks or should I focus on certain users that are responsive if I want to share? 

Thanks.

If the original is still available then you can issue a patch with your changes. It's a solution if the author is no longer active, but it is better to get permission to publish a mod if you can.

when uploading there are check boxes for how you got permission or not. One of the choices is "Tried contacting for xx weeks and no reply"

Or just post it at vpf they don't care about permission.

Sorry.  I'll keep my thoughts to myself
