I think it could be irritating, but if it is a clear 'copy & paste' (I hate it when they call it a cut & paste ) and the originator, or even the forum it originated on is credited - if it is appropriate, then I don't think there is really cause for complaint. It is said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and if I had posted something that was of a standard above my usual boll**x and it got plagerised onto another forum then I would be quite pleased, (so long as it wasn't being called bollox!)

Look at all the jokes and things on joke of the day... they have been taken from somewhere!

I voted yes as 'the original post' is out in the open HOWEVER because I have good manners I usually post a link to the original site or mention the person's name.

Ah, but... how many of us have a quote of some description in our signature which is not attributed to it's author (unless, of course, we made it u )?
