KaciBlakely did indeed clear this type of thing with me. As long as everyone is aware that they will get chips deducted for posting articles that are not original it's fine with me.

I only ask two things:

1. Please always credit the source of the original article(s).

2. Please do your best to make sure that the majority of your posts are indeed your own original words and not those of others. I ask this because believe it or not most members here prefer to read the thoughts and opinions of the other members and not the thoughts and opinions derived from articles other than your own.
