    A certain person keeps copying stuff off the internet and posting it here. I'm sure you know who it is. Now I really shouldn't give a sh*t, but it's really getting on my nerves, whenever I see a post of his, I get this compulsion to copy parts of it to Google (usually gets a hit, right at the top). Bah! Stupid f*cking pointless waste of time. Gonna stay away for a while, I guess. :mad::mad::mad:

      CSS, fat_boy, myself, that Indian guy who does it in the Lounge.. So no, I don't know who it is. But don't worry, it's normal and expected these days. The "plagiarism is bad" attitude is old-fashioned and obsolete. The trick is to find a better thing to copy than other people found.

        DalekDave? In fact anyone who posts any link here will inevitably get it off the internet. Since linking ot library books is a little trickky.

            Probably. Plagiarism isn't 'stealing' anymore, it's 'using'.

              Real men don't use instructions. They are only the manufacturers opinion on how to put the thing together.
