Asian_lovr2:

Carolyn is absolutely positively correct. I did cut-and-pasted the
information from her post. And if I should have attributed it to her
then I apologies for not doing so.

Excellent and informative post.

I can explain my actions, although I readily admit that explanation is
by no means justification.

I took that bit of information to be a set of definitions; a set of
general facts, rather than original thought or personal opinion. Since
we have a set of words and their common informal definitions, I took
that as too general, common, and universal to require attribution.

Others who continued to repost that data, included my orginal thought
and personal opinion in their references.

Again, I'm only explaining, not trying to justify or excuse my
actions. I suppose the safest and most fair and friendly thing to have
done would have been to give the attribution whether it was needed on
not. In the future I will be more careful and more considerate.

Sorry if this created any ill feelings.
