Perhaps something like this.

"Your answers are very good and I was wondering if you would mind if I use them in my own web site to benefit others. I will give you credit of course. If you prefer that I don't, please let me know, I would certainly understand why, if you prefer I did not."

This is polite and lets the person know you appreciate their work and that your purpose is to share that good work.

(Just a suggestion.)
Hi, Doug.
Thank you very mugh.
Your answers are very good and I was wondering if you would mind if I use them in my own web site to benefit others. I will give you credit of course. If you prefer that I don't, please let me know, I would certainly understand why, if you prefer I did not.

A common use would be... She felt apprehension as she realized the man was following her.
-----
"Comprehension"... this means a person understands something.

Common use... I comprehend your questions. It could be said then that I have comprehension of the questions.

When you say “I have comprehension of the questions”, do you mean you understand what the questioner is asking? What’ the difference among them?:
1 I have comprehension of the questions.
2 I comprehend the questions.
3 I understand the questions.


Hello, I may not understand English very well and I may lack words but I will try to understand you.

If you have questions about my post or Japanese customs, don't hesitate to ask.
