I only do a couple of questions a day that interest me, or seem to be getting some misleading or incorrect responses, or is something I'm unusually well-versed in, so I sometimes spend enough time for it to look like a lot of "cutnpaste". When I do "cutnpaste" tho, I put it in quotes and name the source, often wikipedia. BTW, part of the reason I enjoy responding is that it sometimes makes a good excuse to research some area of interest, or at least verify or improve what I know about one.

I typically answer interesting questions about which I have a lot of my own acquired knowledge, so most of my longest answers are my own. If I cut and paste, it's usually something I feel like the user will need me to back up with a resource, and/or something that isn't easily located within a link I might provide. I do feel it's important to distinguish what is your own, and what was resourced elsewhere.

Usually they copy and paste as it is easier than typing in your own knowledge.

Both. Dpends on the person and if what they are saying is their knowledge or something they looked up.
