To quote just a few.

You have posted this piece of prose on this forum without an acknowledgment to the original author and thus implying that it was created by you and acknowledged as such by other members.
It was never my intention to pass this piece off as my own and if that is how it is perceived,then I apologise.I happen to agree ,however with everything that is written there.This particular post was sent to me in one of the many emails I receive,and I thought it worthy of inclusion here. It happened to have no source of the original writer,which is fairly common in emails.In fact I would hazard a guess that most people here would pass on emails to their friends without the knowledge of where the hell they came from originally. The fact that 6 other people that you have shown here also posted this piece without a reference to the original obviously makes them plagiarists too.I take exception to the strong use of the word "stole" in your posting here and advise that I am as honest as the next man.Permit me to add.....this is not the first time you have had a shot at me.....perhaps it,s because I live far away these days...
