Michael, stop embarrassing yourself by leaping into Andy's immature statements.

You beginning to sound like someone with a HUGE CHIP on your shoulder or trying to defend a LAME statement.

Andy has and still remains an ignorant individual (previous history being on this forum). d If you had any sense about you, you would observed that I don't work for or even signed my name at the bottom of this DCx news report. However, I see that is not the case. Pointless and immature.

Do you have a clue what plagiarism means? Did I say I wrote it? Can you access this account? Are you a DCx employee?

However, I am self correcting and there is a method in approaching someone, asking for references. In his case, it shows some serious personality issues.

In conclusion, E-Thugs is a continuous problem on all auto forums where I have been.

"DCX News:" in the subject is not an attribution. it could just as
easily be a generic term, since this is news concerning DC.

when quoting, proper attribution is required. proper attribution would
be leading this with something like "saw this in DCx news, though you
guys might be interested <linkey>"

You didn't do that. This was closer to plagiarism than attribution by
a long shot. Not cool. "mature individuals" properly attribute quoted
material.
