Defensive???? I too would have a defensive tone when people come off rude and arrogent. Reread your first post. Why not ask Anni where he got the info, instead of comming off like a righteous "a" hole. Your condescending tone implys that you are some sort of Rhodes Scholar. This is an internet forum not a medical journal. ATVC does not require a specific writing style.... if it did there would be a lot of people breaking the rules. I understand what you were asking. Sources are important when considering the validity of the information. But this was not questionable info. Anni was posting some good stuff for the good of the community. It would have been easy to simply ask for the URL or a link. But instead you chose to exhibit your self-righteous superiority, then you try to backtrack and say you had a question for the author, or that Anni was taking credit for being the author of this article (which he posted was one of the best he had read). Thats funny, I didn't notice from your first post that you had a question for the author. You did come with a question after that (covering tracks), but why not show a little mutual respect for another forum member and enter into a conversation that would expand what the group knows about the subject at hand. It seemed that you were more interested in flaming Anni. You have been a memeber since 2003, and I am assuming that you know how things work around here. I think you knew exactly what you were doing so there is no denying your intentions. That is uneccessary in a thread like this. Its about the community... when we show no respect for each other, we end up with a forum that is worthless. Courtesy... it just about having a little courtesy.

Well, where did you read it? If you cut and pasted it, give us a URL for the original article instead of taking credit for having read it. I have questions for the author of that article, and the author cleary couldn't have been you. Just reveal your source and stop being so defensive like you have something to hide.

Is it not true that my post containing the question appeared 3 minutes after my first post? That means I commented twice in the same sitting. There was no back-tracking on my part to ask a question. If you're going to be so critical about my follow-up post, please direct your attention to Anni's admission to merely having found that information as it appears one day later from passing the initial information off as his own.
