Your own writing should predominate. Introduce the topic and describe your position. Use links as references. Extensive cut-n-pastes should be avoided. Here's a link to the Forum Guidelines, see rule 5. Sorry the Forum Guidelines do not currently have an easily accessible link, you joined just as the forum was undergoing a significant revision. This will be remedied soon.

I figured the info/pictures in the forum would be a better presentation than anything I could add. But I tried.
The requirement that members make their point in their own words is to ensure the member understands the material. Without this requirement we often discover that someone has posted a link he doesn't understand, or that the link is too general (e.g., "See Dinosaur Adventure Land for proof!"), or even worse, that the link doesn't make the point the member thought it did. While this requirement is perhaps unfair to those who do their homework, we have to enforce the guidelines equally for everyone.
The pictures were great, and if you'd like to embed them in your own discussion instead of in Carl's I think that would make a very effective opening post.
