The practice to copy whole paragraphs and articles from all over the net and pasting them into AE�s forums is on the increase.
In many cases these pasted articles were not only not accompanied by any comments, but worse, were posted without naming the source.
I would like to ask you all to stop this practice. AE is supposed to be a discussion forum between members of AE who express their opinion and not that between anonymous writers on the net. I would therefore ask you only to post threads which contain your own opinion. If you are quoting other authors� work, please make sure that you name the source, wherever possible.
Providing the source of a quotation is common practice, failing to do so might also be a copyright issue.
In future any post that has obviously simply been pasted, which is not difficult to prove, and is not accompanied by any comment and/or naming of the source, will be closed or deleted.
