Hello everyone!
Just a reminder to please be sure and always give proper attribution when copying and pasting the work of another person or news organization. Copyright laws and regulations regarding fair use and open source documentation must be obeyed. Please do not copy entire articles unless permission is granted from the author and or the parent site.
List the entire URL and if using "imbeds" please also go ahead and separately list the URL anyway (in case the imbed fails we still have the proper attribution in place).
Thanks! :hat

Too many articles still being put up without proper attribution folks. Please use full URL's when posting the work of another. Fair use does not always apply and we must give credit especially where copyrighted material is used.

The work of having to verify imbedded links is time consuming and frankly folks, this is becoming a major problem for some posters.
All posters - Please adhere to this request or risk having threads deleted for non-compliance.
If anyone has any questions regarding this policy please PM a Mod.

Having to bump this thread - again. :tapfoot
Looking up URL's takes more time than y'all may think. Original postings to the web sometimes get buried under an avalanche of links upon links to who knows where. If we can't find a proper attribution to copied text within the body of a post, the post (or thread) may be deleted without explanation.
Hopefully you know who you are ........:wave:hat.....and the rest of you fine folks, carry on! You're doing great!
