You probably should learn to live with the cut and paste crowd here, or move to a less lazy intellectual forum. dog yes?

Now do you dare go back and answer the question or even explain how you believe it is to difficult to go beyond a "link" or do a "copy and paste" job and read a BOOK. You seem to be pandering to the IGNORANT. g

You seem to be pandering to the IGNORANT. g It isnt too difficult to read a book. I do it occasionally. This is an internet forum and like Butterbean says it is common practice to use links and copy and pastes. Internet information is current and up to the minute at times. Like I said, a book is usually months or years in the past. If you trust your source ,whether it is a book or an internet site, shouldnt be the yardstick to determine intellectual laziness. Your approach would fit better in face to face group discussions. Internet forums dont lend themselves well to the type of intellectual conversation you are trying to achieve. It is too easy to get sidetracked our not get your thoughts out in just a couple of sentences , which is what happens most of the time in the internet forums. Why do you feel that books are more valuable than links or cut and pastes in an internet forum format?

Why dont all of us here meet up some night in the chatbox and have a "live" discussion. I think it would be better than playing post tag. Wednesday nights usually work good for me. I am off to bed now, so I will look for your answer in the morning.

Or don't you really understand the difference between a published document and a post on an internet forum? That really shows how much you really comprehend what people say. I am not talking about comparing a published document to a "post". I am talking about comparing information in a published document ie(paper) versus information that is up to the minute and published on the internet. Why should information that is on paper, have more meaning than information you find on the internet? You can still source both types of media and check for accuracy and credibility.

I've seen too many blogs and other forum posts used on this forum as one's own opinion, instead of simply posting one's own opinion. Wasn't that the point being made? That's aside from the few occasions blogs and other forum posts are used as reliable information and fact.

That's aside from the few occasions blogs and other forum posts are used as reliable information and fact. I dont think that was the point. I think the point was that in my opinion, a link or a copy and paste is no or less a valid source of information, where Greek thinks if the info came from a book and and the person took the time to read it, that somehow qualifies the poster as someone of a higher intellect rather than someone who just uses a link or a cut and paste. I dont agree with his assessment. As for people passing off something from a link as ones own opinion, I think it has been stated quite often that the link is being used to support the posters opinion.

Do you comprehend the difference between a post on an Internet Forum and a Link to current Data from a official source? Or can you only recognize "D!ck and Jane read IRS tables" in print?
