I dont mind cut and paste being used in posts, so long as they are accurate, they are what they are purported to be, and they are attributed to the correct person....those cut and paste jobs, are fine for me, as they provide valuable information...but when someone fails completely to even read or comprehend the cut and paste that they are using, and in their haste, make terrible and often hilarious errors, that is a completely different matter...the thing is, they try to cover it up, call it something less than what it really is, and then they run away, and fail to poste again, because, of course, they have been outed and are looking silly, and have absolutely no credibility after the incidence...
So I think you are totally think wrong...
I agree with your first para.
