No, you didn't. You have two posts (#42 and #44) that you just copy and paste from the website. Like I said you lost credibility as far as I am concerned unless you are the owner of the website and you are not saying that.

If I take info from a site and that info echoes my opinion and thoughts I dont see a problem.
Whether you find me credible or not is your choice.

Taking an idea from somebody and rephrasing and referring is not a problem. What you did were just copy and paste. That's a different thing. You put it as if you wrote it but not a single word came from you and you don't see a problem with that? I don't know what kind of profession you are, but this is an absolute no as far as I am concerned.

Its called "copyright infringement" if you take someone else: text, movie, photos etc and post as if they were yours. You should ask permission from the website owner always; and regarding text: always, always credit whomever wrote it.

U.S. Copyright Office - Definitions (FAQ)

Who is an author?
Under the copyright law, the creator of the original expression in a work is its author. The author is also the owner of copyright unless there is a written agreement by which the author assigns the copyright to another person or entity, such as a publisher. In cases of works made for hire, the employer or commissioning party is considered to be the author. See Circular 9, Work-Made-For-Hire Under the 1976 Copyright Act.
Spring: if you didn't write it, and just copied it, you should do two things:
1. Email whomever is managing that website and ask them to allow you to copy their content
2. Ask a mod to put it in quotes for you since it is too late to edit yourself

You can do so using quotes, or just pasting the link. Imagine if YOU spent time writing a whole thing about some subject, and then have it circulate over the net and you(who wrote it) getting no credit for it. It would aggravate you a lot trust me.

Feels like everyone peed in the water...hahahahahahaha (sorry, I hate it when its THAT warm)!

Its hard to get an educated opinion from being in Hernando County, and not frequent beaches often! I don't remember Google bathing in the golf at any point.
Educated opinion? That is hilarious coming from you. NOAA averages are what they are and I will take them over the posts of a random person on a message board.

I googled "bathing in the golf" and this was the first hit Suspect high on bath salts threatened to eat people at Atlanta golf course, police say | Fox News

What are you trying to tell us? You like bath salts? The zombie apocalypse is coming?

I (and many, many other people) have electronics installed on our boats that give an exact water temp, real time, of where the boat is sitting......


Your "data" is flawed......

You are wrong......
My data comes from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

Congratulations..........


NOAA's data doesn't come from the immediate coastal waters.......

Nor does it account for time of day, tide cycle, or shallow water heating up rapidly during a summer day.


Ever heard of the term "variables" ?????......

Exactly!

I find it laughable that some think we should disregard decades of precise measurements from professionals and instead go by hyperbole about in one certain section of the water, at one specific time of day, with the wind just so, with my home built thermometer, I once got a reading that was different than NOAA....therefore all the NOAA numbers are wrong........LOL

Give me a break. Like you, I will stick with the professionals.

Do you check "averages" before going to the beach too? hahahaha

You are missing the point here...you are arguing what we are not.
