Brother Habib and cousin Ginny,
 
I am pleased that the two of you have a meeting of the minds.
 
One thing I learned from this brother Habib is that when we convey the  
opinion of our fellow human, we must endeavour to  cite them from the  beginning of 
our conveyance. This is a very serious problem and it has started  
unnecessary conflict. Academia is all too aware of this problem and especially  with the 
advent of the compooter and intinet. That is why it is now part of most  if 
not all curricula to teach students the value of citing sources of  
information. And it must be done the first time we convey the opinions or  intellectual 
property of our fellow man/woman. If we do not, at the first  instance, we 
become purveyors of our original thought. Any attempt in the future  to correct 
that deficit of regard is usually met with foreboding, suspicion, and  more 
often disdain. And it could be innocent oversight.
