BE SURE that you include all of the information including the authors name which is usually at the bottom. I know no one is intentionally "plagiarizing" anything here when they cut and paste(I HOPE NOT!!)discussions here, but it is only fair to be sure that the author is credited for his work.

THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR COOPERATION!!!

BRING ON THE 'CANES!!!

Very good Reminder David.. There seems to be a lil of this every year. Dosent only aply to the two's either.. If you copy from any site you realy need to give the auther credit.. And if its from a pay site you need not post it at all... Not fair to the auther.

On occasions when you just want to post info about a specific area, do specify that it an "excerpt" but name the source, author, etc.

Just an additional thought.

Thanks Dixie! You are right!!

All of this is just common courtesy to the original authors/agencies that generate the information/article. Some of us may not think about it so we are offering this reminder.

I usually say where i get it from, as it is a form of plagurism (how do u spell it) even if not done intentionally.
