Citing Sources
Red, you have been called on possibly posting items not your own. If you ARE Ted Holden as Raz and Sylas believe, you might want to admit it here. If you do not want to admit to a real persona on a web forum you should cite your source as you would if you were copying someone else's work.
If you are NOT Holden you must cite your source http://www.bearfabrique.org/evorants/neander_Matternes.html
Plagarizing is not only dishonest and cheating, but also against Forum Guidelines. It can be grounds for suspension.

Re: Citing Sources
Thanks for the clarification Rocket.
It is still good debating manners to list where your info comes from, even if it IS public domain info.

Re: Citing Sources
How is it a weak point? If it's a government document it usually cites a department...not a sole source...what can anybody do about that? I already said it should be referenced back to a government source..and thats not even necessary...Lets use an example; "A space Shuttle Main Engine High Pressure Fuel Turbopump weighs approximately 500 lbs."
bold added by me
If it is a government doc I expect to see the name of the doc or dept that put it out, especially if the bolded part of the above quote is an exact quote from that doc. If you are paraphrasing the info, attribution would still be nice.
Lets play nice. "I'M" the one asking for citation. Name calling will get you no where.

Re: Citing Sources
We have always asked that the members do some policing of the forum also. Berberry's first posts to you on this topic were not out of line. Post 77 from you is the first punch thrown as far as I'm concerned.
Razd and Sylas seem to agree with the Forum Guidelines as does Berberry. How 'bout you?

Re: Citing Sources
I believe that was said.
The issue was if you were NOT Ted Holden, and that is exactly what was stated.
Thanks for letting us know.
