I'd Like to Clarify a Point

[roflwaffle]

Well this is not a school or university essay, so references are less important. But they are useful if we want to research further. At least some people are posting some cool reads. Thanks to Razorphish for his interesting contributions. Keep them coming.....

Again, I think the point is he is angry about being called out on it, rather than being 'right in the ways of school or uni'

nobody is stopping him from posting from other sources, but, he shouldnt be surprised if people continue to call him on it for not citing clearly.. are you going to say that the people who say that he should be citing it (since this isa weekly post) are inthe wrong and shouldnt be allowed to state their opinion?

to defend himself from nonsenselike that, he should cite it clearly, so people are not confused.
oh i give up... til' next week when this comes up again.

Wow, you did the same thing. And I didn't see this either.

When I originally read it, I thought I saw the attribution to the original source or something like it. The funny thing was I KNEW I had seen when Swiss brought up the notion that it wasn't cited and offered the original. When I went back to look at it, TWICE, I couldn't find it and I thought I was crazy. And then I posted a reply asking Phish what was up.

If plagiarism is an issue, just run through a plagiarism checker like they do in school. It's marvelous thing and keeps everyone straight. Google itself is almost a plagiarism checker.
