That's not cool, Mike.

You do what you want, but I, for one, would never pass something
like that on without being able to cite it properly. I guess it's
just me and my thing for proper history and scholarship, but it's not
cool.

And I wonder how people could possibly be so lazy and
disrespectful. Anyone who would take the time to come up with stuff
like that -- which deserves the attention -- is just a goddamned
useless slacker for not going the extra two minutes it would take to
*cite* it.

I'd get tossed off that listserv in a heartbeat for telling 'em
so.
