Dee and others I imagine that Peter Dickson has seen the light and realises that his closing statement was over the top, see his reply some hours later to the initial criticisms: : I think what I meant to suggest that it was okay to quote from my post with an appropriate citation back to me or share it with others in an appropriate manner with other interested scholars but not to republish it in some other format without my approval or post it "as is" somewhere without my name as the author. and I think it is only fair that when someone like PD does not simply wrirte an email but shares his ideas, research and theories that such a rider be added. Although 99.9% may be sufficiently covered by a text book from which it is quoting or extracted, occasionally someone may share a completely new idea. It is right that this be acknowledged. I can't imagine anyone quoting from a doc. without citing the source. Plagiarizing is unthinkable in the case of your posting. Dee Dee - given the current scandals in Germany I think it is sometimes naive of us to believe that every person is as careful as we would like them to be. At least five eminent people have had their doctor titles taken from them in the last twelve months, the most spectacular being the previous Defence and Economics Minister who is now moving to America (where he will try again??).
