Why attribution matters.

[quade 4]

One of my pet peeves is recirculated jokes, words of wisdom, and other nonsense posted without correct attribution.

Well, it looks like I'm not alone.

Somebody made an absolutely brilliant way to illustrate the point and I'd like to share it with you.

Your rights end where my feelings begin.

Lincoln could split a coax cable as easily as he could split a rail. Amazing guy.

I think my biggest pet peeve is receiving the same email with FW: FW: FW: that the whole planet received ten years ago that was debunked 12 years ago. And then if that's not enough; because it was an "undisclosed recipient" list; everyone on the list then sends it out to their "undisclosed recipient" list of mostly the same people!!!!

Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
