Boy, did I step in s**t. Even though my original article was on a
light note, I still got flames (two), and useful remarks about
referencing (two, also).
Anyway, the reseaon for my lightness, was that, as I explained to
someone via mail, I was talking to someone at Harvard, and they
were bemoaning that institiution strict anti-plagarism laws, and
he was wondering (in a light manner ( :-) ) ) if he had to
footnote every conversation he had, i.e. "Hey John, did you do
that paper yet (footnote, footnote), it's due tomorrow
(footnote again).
Again, Apologies to those whose toes I stepped on. My original
article was in jest.
And-- thanks to all who did respond HELPFULLY, not with "Of
course dummy", but with "see Kate Turabian, the style manual of
the 80's"
doffing my asbestos suit and crawling out of the tub for now,
