I wouldn't worry about negotiating, presuming that the post was intended to be helpfully informative to the Luger collecting community. Jan's forum might be a little more formal than this one, but the overlap in membership would indicate its spirit is the same in this respect. I'd say unless it was specifically prohibited, the info/observations were meant to help all of us. And providing a link will give credit where credit is due.

But this isn't Jan's forum. An annoyed member over there might consider it plagiarism.

And there are a lot of annoyed members over there...

I'm a member there, too, but infrequently visit because there's usually not enough time in a day to do so. Thus, I'm unaware of anyone that's annoyed by cross-posting or links to posts/threads there by people here. If someone is in need of soothing there, we never hear about it here. Why would anyone post good info in the spirit of helping out the community as a whole be annoyed by links to it, presumably by someone who has dual membership?
