Quoting, cutting, pasting, etc.

[Goober Mcfly]

For those involved in the political discussions, a couple of things...

1. Often, if you`re referring to someone else`s writing, providing a link to the source is sufficient. Please, if at all possible, don`t cut and paste the entire article into the TERB thread.

2. If you`re going to quote verbatim from another web-site, please include a link to the original. We don`t want any legal copyright problems, and as well, this provides context, which is often more important than the actual wording.

3. Could you please stop quoting the entire post of previous postings?

For example (apologies to onthebottom): https://terb.cc/vbulletin/showthread.php?s=&postid=187369#post187369 .

Not only is this über annoying, but it wastes bandwidth and makes threads much longer than they should be. Referring to the Original Poster`s handle, and the time/date of his/her post should be sufficient. The quote feature should be used to reference relevant information relating to your post.

Thanks for your cooperation, and flame on!

Goober >> Could you please stop quoting the entire post of previous postings?

You think the onthebottom post was annoying? try this one Post by Cruise and note the following:

• 
  * same page
  * within a couple of posts of the original thread
  * nothing much to say

Mention the persons name, and maybe a couple of words from their post, but don't quote everthing they said.

I wonder if now is a good time to start another 'censorship' thread. Hey, Goob, got one thing to say to you..........."Oh Yeah!?"
