Thanks for checking that out, Czar. My whole point was, if someone is posting a short sentence or two, no problem. Although I do place quotations around any phrase that isn't mine. It just lets everyone know, its not your doing, not your creation. Credits, sources and links are critical in an open forum like FR. Otherwise, if we didn't use them, the spirit of copyright laws are tossed in the trash and we're nothing but plagiarists.

Well, now that you've calmed down, I'm glad to see you say that.

I didn't notice that in 295.

I'm glad to see you using the word "we."
