Many people on YA (like me) are members of various other answer sites as well as messageboards. So if someone ask the same question on Yahoo! Answers, why is it not okay to copy and paste it here, especially if they provided the answer to begin with??? Futhermore, many people simply forget to add the link where they might have taken the information from in the source field (I'm guilty of this).
As long as they are providing an "answer" to the question asked, there really is nothing wrong with it. Over 200,000 people post questions and/or answers on this site and judging from the number of responses you received to your question no one seems to care more than you.
I hope you're at least getting paid by the Yahoo! Answers staff to report people for plagiarism. It's not that serious Alan C. Lol
BY THE WAY, REMEMBER TO CHECK YOU GRAMMAR AND SPELLING WHEN POSTING QUESTIONS....why is the word "THIS" even in your question???

I agree with U. If I can't answer a question in my words I won't go there. I do offer web sites for additional information for that question. As I said I agree with U. Those types R trying to be or pretend they R smarter than they R. You can tell if it's their words or they are copy & pasting. Look at that persons profile 2 see the way they answered other questions, I hope this helps U. In my own words,

It's fine as long as they cite their sources - that's why there is an option to list your source when answering a question.
So my answer is that I think that in a large number of cases they demonstrate better research skills than those who have come here for an answer before doing the work and looking it up for themselves.

Doesn't bother me very much. I cite the source when I do that and when I type my own answers, there usually is no 'source' (other than my brain) to cite.
The difference is evident when compared with the rest of the user's post...

Sweetie, attempting to show out to those those that they are being hypocrites with tips from bearing fake witness against Wiccans and Pagans is a waste of breath. the type of folk you talk of have blinders on, to no longer point out selective streaks whilst it comprises precisely which commandments they are adament approximately upholding and which of them are "eh, that don't relatively prepare to this concern". they are going to constantly do and say what they are going to. the final factor to do is keep residing your existence and lead them to consume their words with tips from being a competent individual.
