[HPFGU-Feedback] Paraphrasing vs. verbatim quotes

Quite simply, I must agree with those who have English as a second language
issues as well as those who are concerned about misinterpretation.  The idea
of paraphrasing just doesn't work.  If I read a paraphrase post, I am then
relying on the paraphraser's interpretation and that bothers me; I want to
review what the original poster said, not rely on someone's hopefully
correct paraphrasing..

And, as far as looking through the archives...that's a nightmare, for me at
least, and I generally prefer not to delve into YahooMorts attic. :-)  I
know that some people with perfectly good vision have had problems searching
the archives.  Considering my distaste for online mail and further distaste
of YahooMort, I would rather read and enjoy than stress out and beat my
computer to a pulp. <BEG>

I will quote, not paraphrase; I will use attributions and sign my posts; I
will stay away from YahooMort!

Cheers,

Lee :-)

Do not walk behind me,    | Lee Storm
I may not care to lead;   | N2FGC
Do not walk before me,    | n2fgc at ... (or)
I may not care to follow; | n2fgc at ...
Walk beside me, and be my friend.
