Re: [Aroid-l] Wikipedia`s falsehoods

From: hermine <hermine at endangeredspecies.com> on 2009.02.03 at 21:41:19  You can scream and yell aboutcopyright but with the internet many people will use anything they wantand there is little you can do about it.  What ever happened tocivility and crediting others for what anyone uses as their ownwork? Steve Lucas I just dunno bout dis. I know we refer people to OTHER websites onour website, if those folks have better or more ideal pictures, andsometimes this means sending them to another SELLER'S website. ... as anarteeeeste, i am far to vain to EVER steal the work, the creative work ofanother, it is a mark of horrible weakness and a confession that one is aperson of little worth! it is EGO DRIVEN, has nothing to do with honestyper se, HOWEVER, after the ego is satisfied, the honesty thing would kickin followed by guilt for England, so there is no way I could do that! Just about the only thing worse than being quoted is being misquoted.between the two, a person could lose all their hair. I still say thecombo of pix, and info on this list has bypassed the race for top sourceof Aroid information in my previous pre-list life. I literally cannotBELIEVE the quality of the photos I see here. and I used to considermyself a photographer.  I am having a rare humble moment. I am alsoliving in a temporary aroid deprived condition, and only recently got areal warm enough greenhouse to house them. it took me 12 years toacknowledge  our "WINTER".  i kept thinking it wassome kind of aberration. As for Wiki, i just came back from researching the alleged Naziaffiliations of a whole bunch of musicians, and found much ado aboutNOTHING. However it is useful to look up stuff like what was Bruce Springsteendoing in 1977. the footnotes may tell the story, however. Roger tells me Wiki just did a fund raiser and got six millionfranklins.  I want my share for the Da Ponte biography. hermine --=====================_427220187==.ALT----===============5131215332925811124==
