    Yes, I do make every attempt to list my sources. Trouble is that with age comes memory loss, so sometimes I have a hard time remembering specifics. However, if it is an important point I will refrain from answering the question or I will research the information.

    Many people are mis-informed, therefore I think it wise to check sources of information. And I expect to be "questioned" on my sources as I do question others sources.

    Peace.

    Yes. When I answer Music questions, sometimes I'm not quite sure on one detail of my answer, so I go to a reliable database to search for the information and then if I find it, I list it as my source.

    I've only quoted something once on here ever, and yes, I did give credit to that source. It's the right thing to do - and not to mention, it's not legal to claim something is your thoughts/ideas/findings if it's not.
