"OT Information is a good that you can sell, give it away and still possess it. Thus, I reason, the idea explaining the pitfalls of returning to MTBE once written belongs to the reader as well as to the writer who still possess it. Therefore we can use as we seen fit." No, it doesn't work that way. If you lift other's idea and pass on as it's own, you are basically stealing from the author. The author come up with the idea and he deserve the credit. Same as other take your idea and pass it out as their own. If stealing is o.k. with you then it is o.k. to do what you did. It is not netiquette, it is basic respect for other's work.

<OT> El Mat, Sorry, have to agree with your opposition. I realize you may struggle with english as second language (no slight intended, I struggle with spanish), but stringing together the words of others and presenting them as an expression of your own thoughts doesn't hold up to the red face test. The threads are all about an exchange and sharing of ideas, and everyone's ideas are based on their perceptions. Perceptions are influenced by the ideas of others. But the words you write are assumed to be your own unless quotes are provided and documented. When attending a concert, nobody assumes the singer wrote the song. Regards, Aggie
