At the risk of being labelled a 'copyright anorak', I have good news for Ed. You can publish (i.e. post) a sentence or two from AR's text without infringing the UK Copyright Act. To infringe copyright in the UK, the quoted excerpt has to be 'substantial'. 'Substantial' is a relative term, but as a general rule you could say that a whole paragraph (say, 7 to 10 lines) would for this purpose be substantial, but one sentence, or two short sentences would not.
So let's have that 'chock a block' quote, Ed!
