2) “I don’t know where you got this latest quotation”

Time is money. I spent time looking for that quote and you want me to state the source as well for free? Please don’t be lazy. Please google or something.

I am glad that you are agreeing with me that this is a comment box and not a research paper. By the way, is your name martin or Martin?

4) “Since you didn’t format the text to indicate a quotation the marks are completely necessary” – martin

Try to format the text of your comments and see if they will appear formatted.

Also try this in the comment box:
“Quotations of more than four lines (even four lines and one word) of prose or three lines of verse must be set off. Skip an extra half-line, indent one full inch on the left margin. Follow the quotation with a parenthetical citation on the next line (either on the right margin or just where the line above ends — either is acceptable, but be consistent), skip an extra half-line, and resume the paragraph without indenting. Note: If you have set your word processor to automatically indent after hitting the return button, you must manually remove the indent after every long quotation. This may be done in MSWord simply by backspacing over it, or by making a change under Paragraph in the Format pull-down menu.”

5) “Or at least saying ‘the following is taken from an article…’ “ – martin

One can choose to state that at the beginning or at the end of the article. Here is an example: http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4498060 Did you want ESPN to precede the article (report) by stating the following: “Information from The Associated Press was used in this report we are about to share with you” ?.

6) “People put links in their posts all the time.” – martin

I decided to copy and paste the entire article because I have noticed that some people don’t have the time to click on the link(s). No wonder they give un-informed opinions.

If you still got “beef” either with me or my comments then shoot me an email: sscouser@gmail.com

“Omit quotation marks around long direct quotations, unless the direct quotation is a quote within a quote, and then use double quotation marks”

I’m proposing the exact same system of timing as we have now, but with the referee’s calculations made visible for all to see.

So if there are four minutes of added time announced, and then there’s a substitution or a goal celebration and the ref has to add another 30 seconds, we’d see that time get added and know how long was left.
