Thank You!
I linked to the source directly. Everyone can see that.
I got pulled up for the same thing on something i put up months ago. Basically the emphasis is on subjective content - putting things into your own words as the bulk of the content. An improvement would be to absorb the information quoted and summarize it in your own words, while referencing the link.
Don't worry, I needed two more attempts to eventually understand it. Thanks for sharing :)
Thanks. Sometimes speed is essential to get the word out. ;-) I'm not fussed about rewards.
