An Apology To myLotters...

Did you realize it before someone said something? You could have had your account deleted for plagiarism. I'm glad you didn't.

It's okay.. it was a mistake :) have a nice day

We all make mistakes and it happens. I must have missed the posts your referring to. Every now and then I refresh myself on the guidelines here because I forget them. =)

Don't worry about it? I think it is nice that you write something to this effect. It shows character. You are honest and caring person. Someone that has a story to tell and I feel privilages to have known you. Did you ever write a book? You are not the only one and perhaps not the last to make a mistake. Sometimes we can even forget if we are trying to back up what we write with good source material to actually source it properly. I'm sure you know all about sourcing but really when when we think about it is perhaps more forming good habits than anything else perhaps? "First, you have to think about how you want to identify your sources. If your sources are very important to your ideas, you should mention the author and work in a sentence that introduces your citation. If, however, you are only citing the source to make a minor point, you may consider using parenthetical references, footnotes, or endnotes." - from the following site

I did not see them, at least I don't remember them. You corrected it when you found out you should not have used them. That's cool with me.
