ROE AND A DIFFERENT WORLD

Thanks so much for checkn out my post c/o global warming. I must say though that I was perplexed by your comment. Any chance you could elaborate?

The only way I can elaborate is to say that I was too hasty.

It seemed that your essay was taken verbatim from others' work, and, as you know, bloggers just don't do that unless it is clear that something is being quoted.

It did appear that your work was quoted from something else, but I saw no sources.

It seemed that the previous (I thought first) commenter was questioning your sources; however, it seemed you were listing them yourself.

In addition, there was a typo in the last paragraph. I believed that to be your own work, that you had made a typo, and that, to me, appeared to be the only work that was yours.

Are you completely and thoroughly confused at this point?

The best I can say is that I apologize for being so hasty and being so doubtful.

It happens that I am a retired legal secretary; because of that background, many items jump off the page at me that may not faze someone else. I find it almost impossible to catch my own mistakes, though. It was always so.

Just for fun, are you attempting to wreak havoc? Or does it just happen?

No sweat.

About a year ago I had a debate w/ my father about the validity of global warming. It made me take the time to look things up and give him, in his words, "an executive summary". I approached it kinda like a school report. Do I write differently if I'm just musing? Probably. But I don't think I plagerized anything (atleast I hope not). Anyhow, I pulled my "report" off of a Word file, updated and edited it some and viola! Tried to give it a theme: "The Sting"..which is an excellent movie. A wordsmith I'm not.

Thanks for takn the time to reply.
Shalom.
