I don't think it makes any difference. If KidA had put the source of his quote following the quote, it would have had the same civility as the quote without the source. Adding a source doesn't make it civil; it merely makes it accessible.
If you really want to know what someone is talking about and what the source of the quote is, ASK! Or do a google search. If you don't care, that's great, too! Not every post is going to appeal to every poster.
Lots of people post hellos to each other or talk about things that others may not have followed. Should they be required to explain, for those who may have decided to peek at the post, all the events leading up to their post?
I like the posts without the source. It's like a quiz. It tests my memory and my knowledge. And if I don't know it, I can look it up.
