    ...I've noticed this a few times with your questions...I just figured the person must really think your questions rock...but to plagiarize the questions word for word shows a brazen mind

    Oddly enough, I have posted very few questions on Yahoo. I prefer to answer questions. If anyone wanted to copy my questions, I would not be bothered by it nor flattered for that matter. I would be surprised however, that anyone would want to copy anything that I have to say.

    Ya, it does bother me sometimes becuase I usually wish they would ask...but most of the time when it happens to me it's one of my friends who needs the answer to, and there's a better probablility of it being answered when more than one person asks. So, actually, I guess that it usually doesn't bother me, but I'm not necessarily flattered either. Hope that helps you!

    i've been copied before and i was kinda bothered by it mainly because they posted it the same day i did. i wouldn't have mind it if they posted it a few days later. well, at least i would feel better about it. but, yeah i hope that i didn't repeat any of your questions. honestly, i haven't gone through your Q. just posting whatever enters my mind.

    I .. it's never happened to me, I guess I would feel sorry for them, and their lack of original thinking, or ....

    The Partridge Family had an episode where Danny, while sleeping, would wake thinking of an "original" song. The family soon discovered they were Keith's (David Cassidy)songs he was composing in the next room while Danny slept.

    Yeah, maybe that's it...

    I really don't care. It just shows who the copiers are or who the not-too-creative ones are. Y/A is a struggle for points. It's a "beg, borrow, or steal" battle. There are no restrictions from copying somebody else's questions. So be it!
