As for 'cut-n-paste,' I am the original author of the assessment of titin's insuperable statistics. I wrote it and submitted it to a biochemistry professor who agreed with it completely and then a friend who has a PhD in biochemistry who seconded the vote.
Then I posted it on my website which I have assembled over a period of decades from a wide variety of sources. So my posts are anything but "cut-n-paste."
From the
Forum Guidelines:
- Avoid lengthy cut-n-pastes. Introduce the point in your own words and provide a link to your source as a reference. If your source is not on-line you may contact the Site Administrator to have it made available on-line.
Because of the problems you encountered composing messages I will cancel your daily post count limit.
