    I completely agree with you!! I hate it because they are trying to sound all smart you might as well just have sounded stupid because when you do that your just covering it up...

    No, probably they have cut n pasted a clip that you, and your remarkable intelligence, just may have missed. If you had a seen a previous cut n paste then you maybe wouldn't have posted your question, would you Einstein?

    Or are you one of these that just wants someone too talk to?

    It doesn't offend me at all! If a person, does not know the answer to a question, at least they make the effort, to find any information they can on the topic, so they copy and paste a link, that will help answer their question!

    Well, they could just use links, rather than take the credit for others work, and taking up loads of profile space!!

    Yep i sure do and the ones who do the whole page from the encyclopedia ..that is why it's call questions and answers not cut and paste.

    I agree.

    When answering, you should simply cite your source and not waste acres of screen with superfluous detail to answer a simple question.

    I hate that. Especially when it is ridiculously long. When I ask question I want a persons opinion not something I could just do a search on myself.
