It has become painfully obvious that there are some so-called "academics" that are using this discussion board and its revelations as a springboard for segments of their own BHW research, then proceeding to publish their "finds" as their own "original" research-- without citation or other proper credit!
Source-stealing and bibliography "mining" and "padding" has a long tradition in academia. Such are the ways of soul-less practitioners of the old adage: "Stealing from one source is plagiarism; stealing from many sources is 'research.'"
You robbers may be assured that I read and check your bibliographies. I can tell when you "pad" you bibliography with sources and books you have never read. I read and check your footnotes, to see if the sources you cite lead me to similar conclusions and revelations that you posit. And in the many instances when your obviously weak and incomplete footnoting doesn't support your brilliant assertions, I say there are only two reasons:
1. You are unbelievably perceptive about things 1832, or;
2. You are unbelievably stupid and must resort to stealing your thoughts and ideas from others.
Don't think you won't be "caught" by the "sheeple" who read your books. You already have.
