Thats why is quite in this forum Ferrit, TSF forums generate over 3000 post per day ... windrivers on the other hand can't generate 25 ligit post per day.

Actually, they generate around 2000 posts per day. Your last post is August 8 of this year. Since you averaged almost 2 posts per day over there, and none since then, I question why you stopped posting over there. Do you still have posting privliges there? Since August, have you decided to devote all your time here????

I have come to find out that you are considered, "troubled" over at that forum.
Posted from a member on that board:

"From what I know..

The troubled tag is given by the "board" to naughty boys and girls, if their manners do not improve then they get their crayons taken away

"

The post was provided by sjb007. I'm crediting the author.

Admit your mistakes, and I'm sure the members of this board will forgive and forget. A lot of people have trouble fitting in at first. We honestly appreciate your input.

So I guess the board that you claim to be so much better, has you on some sort of probation, and you still come here and cause trouble???

I just thought i would clarify something here..

Plagiarism

the unauthorized use or close imitation of the language and thoughts of another author and the representation of them as one's own original work.

Nowhere does "copyright" come into context when plagiarism is involved. Plagiarism is in common practice considered a bad thing and any decent person would credit original source. Refusing to do so would indicate someone who is not resonable.

Like I said it wont happen.Some (not naming names) are just too dense to see it.

Right so you admit you cut and pasted from another forum, and you say I didn't find the correct forum... so post the link here where you got that information from and I will edit the post accordingly.

Oh I am satisfied I have the right forum and it took 10 seconds to find it. If you think I am wrong (as you obviously do) then post the original link.

I really don't want to beat this to death, or anything, but you say you have over 14000 posts. So, I go there, and look up the posts, everyone over 14000 is a moderator, working for the forum type person. Here is the link:

I would hate to think that a person with knowledge of forum rules, and trusted to enforce them at another forum, would come to this forum and act as you have done.

I also think it is coincidence that someone signed up at that forum with your exact handle that you use here.

Well if it's not from a forum, then post the link whether it be from an instruction manual, paper insert, newsgroup, email, blog, knowledge base, web page, pdf file or other written work. I am sure you want to credit the original author.

I hate to mention it but I think the batteries on someone's hamster here have run down. The wheel, unfortunately, still seems to be turning.
