To the one who gave me negative rep, I say this to you: Too bad.

Thanks, Blayde! There's some really neat stuff posted on that blog, like this acetylene-powered emergency light:

You see, this is why you link to the sources of interesting articles, because there's usually even more neat stuff to be found there. images/smilies/wink.gif

That's fine. But, sometimes, I don't like to give away sources. If I were making money off my posting, sure, I would have to, but there is no rule anywhere saying I have to give a source. And sometimes, I choose not to. Nor do I take credit with what I post if I had nothing to do with it.

No offense, but doing that is very rude. Try going to the photography section of the forums here, taking all the great photos there and reposting them on another forum without saying who made them, and see how many of our members still like you afterwards.

And I don't get why you wouldn't want to name the source in the first place. images/smilies/wacko.gif

Let me introduce you to a term called "plagiarism". When you don't cite your source, it suggests that you wrote it yourself. In theory, you can get in trouble for doing so.

Besides, there is no possible reason as to why you wouldn't name the source. Frankly, it seem childish.

Other than that, it was a very interesting read, and i thank you for bringing it to me attention.

That's your opinion, not my intention. It's also my choice. I need not explain myself to anyone.

I never claimed to write it or profited from it, therefore, it is not.

I'm sorry, guys, there is no point in arguing this with me. I WILL NOT change my point of view. I ask you all who question me to please respect my opinon as I respect yours. We agree to disagee.

Please, enjoy what I provide and move on.

While doing some researh on the matter. I see that I'm am wrong is some area's.

1st. From now on, I will site the sources. This is NOT due to the fact of members here not liking that I did not do so before, but a product of the term in which "plagiarism" is defined. While I do not agree with it, I will do so from now on.

2nd. I'm a bit disappointed in the way both I and some others have handled this situation. I post what I do because I enjoy discussing cars with all of you here. I came off as brash and I appoligize. But, I do ask for those who have an issue with me, or any other member here, do not immediatly begin to try and destroy that persons reputation simply because you disagree with them. Send a PM and try to discuss it with them. Don't turn a persons thread into an argument. Most of us are adults here, we all, including myself, need to act as such.

I hope this clears things up.

Sheer automotive porn. Ferrari's need to be more like that. After the F50 things got soft.
