I was reading the posts of S_O before he was banned and saw that some of you don't like it when others copy and paste other people's information. I'm just a bit curious why. I'm not one who does, because to tell you the truth I really don't want to put out the effort to do so. But what's wrong with copy and paste with the source.
People, scientists, writers, students, have been soing so for years and it saves most people the time to go and have to look for it... I suppose you could put a link out for it, but what would be the point if you could have the text right there when you clicked the topic here in AO, especially when the link leads you to sites with tons of graphics that slow internet connections (1.5 KB like me), can't easily handle!
