> First let me say I enjoy your posts, even without sources, since they're always beautifully written excerpts of whatever they are. Dark subjects don't disturb me personally. I can see though how having a source might make them less potentially disturbing to others, even if someone is not familiar with the source. For instance, if you post the words of a psychotic murderous character, some people might think the words are your own, and that there's a psychotic murderous Babbler in our midst.>> With a source though, it's obviously a quote from something.
actually this is one reason literate people don't include sources, which allows the listener to put the thought in a neat little box marked "oh that."
