Carey,
I've even had random chinese manufacturers send me photos of products in their line up that I have designed a couple years ago ...
Dakine, I almost never click links ... I just read from the Punawebber and then take it all into account. If I want more info/entertainment on topic I'll look for myself. I'm guessing thats the synopsis all most of us have time for IMO.
aloha,
pog

ORG is not limited to not-for-profit, in fact ANYONE can get a website with an ORG....just to be very clear...
Basically, this whole discussion comes down to what is LEGALLY correct & what ya wanna do (just like many of the permit ??? & many other ???) so... it is legally correct to site the source, though many do not (even in college, even in published masters & doctoral papers!)
Some will get caught & act like they had no idea of the legal stance, some will skate by their whole life, and some will do the legally correct thing....
What is right only applies to how you want to live your life...I try to choose a path that does not require me to hope no one catches much of the stuff I do & report me...but that is me...
Some relish reporting on others, and if you chose to live your life always hoping no one notices the stuff you do, those are the people you gotta always keep happy...
Well said as usual, Carey.
No one needs to click on a link, but a link tells us there is a larger conversation and is not just a source citation.
You know, if everyone is sitting in a room talking, we all know who said what. If someone pulls out a book or opens a magazine in a face to face group, we all know where that paragraph he reads comes from. If someone says "oh I think someone said the moon is made of green cheese" we are clear that this piece of info might need some source before we take it as gospel. We have context when we are all in a room face to face.
These "rules" are a way to have a conversation in a virtual room and keep things in context. Otherwise it becomes chaotic where the facts, info, interpretations come from. It's also a way of giving people credit for what they create in writing and the work they have done. Much of what we create isn't worth too much to anyone, but some of it is.
To me it makes sense to share info along with "I got the info here."
But hey, forty years ago I was in the group that would sit in a room and someone would spout any kind of nonsense while passing a doobie around and we would all say, far out man.
Age + school + clear head = linksalot? [8D]
