I don't blame you one bit for doing things like this Mate. I'm just relieved that you're still posting SCDB. As far as I'm concerned, copying a link without getting permission and/or giving credit is akin to plagiarism, whether it's a copy to another forum or within the same one. I think with widely available minor stuff it's certainly alright to just give credit to the original source or at least the last known source, and maybe not even do it at all. But with 'unique' posts the original source should have his/her permission sought firstly, and if that is obtained then credit and thanks be given appropriately. I know the modern 'group thinking' is coming around to the idea that 'if it's out there on the internet, it's fair game' but i quite definitely cling to old-fashioned manners here and believe in 'give credit when credit is due' (some might say it's more like 'honour amoungst thieves').
Maybe i'm getting a bit teetery on my virtual moral soapbox here considering the venue and i'm fully prepared to be bashed up verbally.
If that happens, i'll move this and any further comments into a new thread so bring it on .....![]()
