...confusing & not an attack.
My post was to thank Vonda as that was where the original information came from (which was posted on my forum and the Baliforum).
As for not knowing who posted it or where she got it from..?
But granted she probably didn't even think to mention where it came from or know that perhaps she should (she does now)
As for posting it elsewhere yes so what. It was done purely to help others and there is no problem with that nor is there a problem with sharing it.
The problem is not acknowledging the source of the information.
As was mentioned quite rationally it is considered common courtesy as the source made the effort to get the information in the first place
If you did the same thing while writing an essay/book etc without noting your references it is called plagarism.
