That's the key Kaka... discussion forums are not meant for unidirectional broadcast messages but for multi-user interactions... and threads that just go on to flood information post after post from the same member get to be monotonous.
It is okay to "quote" information as long as the source is cited appropriately and the cited text is followed by the members own take on it to initiate a discussion with other members.
In this case, the post was simply copy-paste from other site(s) with very little value-added.
