We can just use these testimonials. @gnilma and @carlosfandango enlightened me recently that once something is published on the Internet, it should be considered as free-for-all information.
Is the same true for what is published in a newspaper? Why would the internet be different?
Thank you for your inputs. I did cover my ass by saying: Of course, we can do the proper thing and ask the Stackers who have written these testimonials for permission to publish them.

I noticed that you had done that, but wanted to bring the point into focus anyway.
