Well, we're allowed to post copyrighted articles, works, etc. here...they should just be given proper credit by linking to the site or stating the name of the original author.

The exception to that would be copying and pasting something here when it expressly states that the owner/author has asked it not be done.
Actually, the most appropriate way to post another's words is to give a preview of the work, then link to the article/complete work. However, with quotes, songs, etc., many post the entire work and state the author's name...giving credit.
It's just not cool to post a creative work without giving credit to the author in some form.
I'm pretty sure I've spoken correctly on the issue. If I've misspoken, I hope DocJohn clarifies when he responds.
Yep, I'm curious to see what the big guy thinks of this idea as well.
