"Getting an idea suggestion for an article is plagiarism???" perhaps that was rhetorical, what with the tripled punctuation. erring on the side it's not, broadly, unattributed, yes. here's oxford: https://www.ox.ac.uk/students/academic/guidance/skills/plagiarism here's webster: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/plagiarize it's a matter of attribution; in no way does it diminish work that you put in to develop or elucidate an idea (but you know all this of course). "I get ideas from all kinds of sources. ... There's no point in citing all of them." well, whomp, there it is ;-) separately, to distinguish baby from bathwater, your pieces come up in interwebz searches around smalltalk, the ones I've come by have been always readable often informative, and (as i've said before) thank you for the work that goes into making them available -- Sent from: http://forum.world.st/Pharo-Smalltalk-Users-f1310670.html
