No, I am not using the source you mentioned. Neither are the sources bogus. I have quoted the sources and everyone is free to examine the resources for themselves to asertain if they are bogus or not. It sounds as if you cannot stand the heat.

No, its simply quote mining and is an old trick. You may impress others with quote mining, but we've all seen this approach before so its just silly to us.

Quote mining usually involves taking a quote out of context or using the quotes of a non-authoritative person for that particular field. It seems very clever to the person doing it but its just sad and pathetic to those who have seen it all before.

Oh, then they cannot possibly be quoted correctly according to you. Yes, yes, and I'm also familiar with the pettifogging.
