To avoid potential legal problems here on Ironworks, it is best to do one of the two things when citing other works:
1) Provide a link to the article rather than cut/pasting in the post (preferable)
OR
2) If you do wish to cut/paste, provide a single line citation with author's name, website, and news bureau (if applicable). Changing the font color or at least putting italics around the quoted text would help as well.
I'm certain no one intentionally was trying to pass off someone else's work as their own, here. [img]smile.gif[/img] Still, on as public a forum as IW is, it's probably better to provide the proper documentation when referencing a secondary source.

No prob. An oversight on my part. I forgot to paste the shortcut after I copied it. I was kinda taken aback by some strong language concerning plagerism, but I would have a zero-tolerance for that sort of behavior myself, so I understand.
