Writing as list owner:
The rate of list submissions which do not properly attribute (or
flatly fail to attribute) their quoted text has been rising of late
to a half dozen or more per day. You (hopefulyy) don't see them
because I do (and I'd rather not).
Quoting from the list guidelines at
<A HREF="http://www.kanga.nu/lists/listinfo/mud-dev">http://www.kanga.nu/lists/listinfo/mud-dev</A>
--<cut>--
6.All quoted material must be attributed. For materials from other
sources than the list, state the author and source. A reply to a
post from the list must have at least the name of the original
author if your mailer does not automatically prepend one. For
example:

This is not an idle statement. Correct attributions are a flat
requirement for any post to make it onto the list. This is not just
a way for me to excuse throwing away a post I don't like. Correct
attribution is a statement of respect and acknowledgement for the
person quoted and provides a valuable back pointer for people
encountering your post during research.
