"Doug Wilson (a target for a number of people on this list) posted
a link to this two days ago:

http://www.dougwils.com/index.asp?Action=Anchor&CategoryID=1&BlogID=1037

The article Nick has copied to the list *without attribution* is located at:

http://www.worldmag.com/subscriber/displayarticle.cfm?id=10576"

Nick Gier does preface his copy of the article with:

"WORD FOR WORD
RELIGION: More and more pastors lift entire sermons off the internet-but is
the practice always wrong?
by Gene Edward Veith"

I must be missing something here, Sid.  Are you saying that Nick Gier should
have cited Doug Wilson, as well, for having linked his blog to the article?

If that is your case, then every time somebody copies and pastes an article
from any newspaper, they must also cite every newspaper, website, blog, news
service, and restroom wall poet that mentions that article.

We could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are pretty, some are
dull, some have weird names, and all are different colors....but they all
exist very nicely in the same box.
