Hi,
I just saw what you said above and agree with it.

There is no FTP access.

Correct?

Oh, sorry, you misunderstood. Your answers, yes you are more organized and efficient than I am, but your answers have a distinctive "voice" which is yours alone, whether cut/paste/stock/filed by topic and used many times. Your talent is that you are a real person, and very efficient at the same time.

I don't think any of us (after answering the OP) are in disagreement. We are just saying the same thing in different ways. And constrained by this medium of text. Nothing but good intentions on my part, and apologies that I wasn't concise.

Good and accurate answers as soon as possible: agree. But you cannot do it for long unless you invest some personal care into it.

The only thing I copy pasted was the links. I researched over a dozen answers on just as many websites (gotta love Google) and got many answers. I have done a lot of reading (and learning) this evening.:) I also agree with thistimethisspace. I was trying to get an answer quickly and forgot to put where I got the answer.

oops! just saw the post from you to me above. I do have arthritis and impending carpal tunnel. Yes, personal answers are good to get but when things are busy what most bloggers asking questions are focused on is getting accurate answers quickly.

good evening to you
you're right about credit
it's the polite thing to do

LOL carpal tunnel: I don't do much copy / paste unless I am referring to one of your very fine answers and I usually refer to a link. Part of the way these forums are "good" is that they are personal and not rote copy paste answers repeatedly posted.

]]> 1tess on "Templates from other sites" http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/templates-from-other-sites#post-1128669 Sun, 20 Jan 2013 04:21:49 +0000 1tess 1128669@http://en.forums.wordpress.com/ It is usually polite to give credit where credit is due. It's fine to copy / paste, but why not mention who you found the information from? Many long time volunteers here do have a "voice" which is recognizable to each other: it makes answers here more personal. If you want to work for WordPress, that is probably something to think about.

BTW, I am not staff: another long-time volunteer.

Welcome aboard and best wishes re: your application. Most questions asked and answered on support forums have been asked and answered many times over. If one answers a lot of questions like I do and doesn't create a copy and paste they would be risking carpal tunnel ... lol :)

No. I am not a staff member. I have recently applied for a position and I thought I would give it a go answering some forum questions (to gain some valuable experience). I thought you might recognize a copy/paste from one of your own answers. lol.

I didn't think were a Staff member ... lol :D

I've been here answering questions for over 6 years and that's way longer than most except a very few Staff members have been here.

Look above ... I was addressing @sonjacrocker as she was using a recognizable Staff copy and paste answer. I should know as I have a blog full of copy and paste answers of my own ... lol :D

I'm timethief but logged in under my other username account (same gravatar).
